Light-harvesting complex 1 (LH1) of the thermophilic purple sulfur bacteriumThermochromatium tepidumcan be expressed in the purple non-sulfur bacteriumRhodobacter sphaeroidesand forms a functional RC-LH1 complex with the nativeRba. sphaeroidesreaction center (Nagashima, K. V. P., et al.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A.2017, 114, 10906−10911). Although there is a large uphill energy gap betweenTch. tepidumLH1 and theRba. sphaeroidesRC in this chimeric complex, it has been shown that light energy can be transferred, consistent with that seen in the nativeRba. sphaeroidesRC-LH1 complex. In this study, the contribution of this chimeric complex to growth and photosynthetic energy conversion in the hybrid organism was quantified. The mutant synthesizing this chimeric complex was grown phototrophically under 940 nm light-emitting diode (LED) light preferentially absorbed byTch. tepidumLH1 and showed faster growth at low intensities of this wavelength than both a mutant strain ofRba. sphaeroideslacking LH2 and a mutant lacking all light-harvesting complexes. When grown with 850 nm LED light, the strain containing the nativeRba. sphaeroidesLH1-RC grew faster than the chimeric strain. Electron transfer from the RC to the membrane-integrated cytochromebc1complex was also estimated by flash-induced absorption changes in hemeb. The rate of ubiquinone transport through the LH1 ring structure in the chimeric strain was virtually the same as that in nativeRba. sphaeroides. We conclude thatTch. tepidumLH1 can perform the physiological functions of native LH1 inRba. sphaeroides.
