Assembly, selectivity, and compatibility of bacterial photosynthetic complexes from divergent species detected in a chimeric strain

Puntos clave

• Functional assembly of bacterial photosynthetic complexes is demonstrated in a chimeric strain, highlighting distinct selectivity across species.
• The compatibility between complexes from divergent species resulted in enhanced photosynthetic efficiency.
• Chimeric strains were assessed for their ability to integrate and utilize select bacterial photosynthetic complexes effectively.
• Findings suggest broader implications for synthetic biology, particularly in designing efficient photosynthetic systems.
