additional information | a strain of Rhodobacter sphaeroides mutant lacking BchJ and BciA with incorporated bchYZ of bacteriochlorophyll b-producing Blastochloris viridis, encoding chlorophyllide a oxidoreductase (COR), shows accumulating of both BChla and BChlb and becomes an anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium producing BChls a and b together. Loss of functions of both intrinsic COR and 8-vinyl reductase (BciA) in the host and expression of the BchYZ catalytic components of COR from Blastochloris viridis, not the complete set of COR (BchXYZ), is essential for production of bacteriochlorophylls a and b in the host strain | Cereibacter sphaeroides |
