Cloning a gene encoding a light-harvesting I polypeptide from Ectothiorhodospira sp.
Trying to detect the genes coding for light harvesting II polypeptides of the purple bacteria Ectothiorhodospira sp. a gene corresponding to a light harvesting I polypeptide was cloned. This paper discusses the probable reasons of this result. The sequence of this polypeptide underlines the strong similarity with light harvesting complexes from bacteria such as Rhodospirillum molischianum and Chromatium vinosum.
