Core complexes (LH1-RC) were isolated using preparative gel electrophoresis from photosynthetic membranes of the purple bacterium, Thiorhodospira sibirica, grown in the absence or presence of the carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitor, diphenylamine.

The effect of growing Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) acidophila and Rps. palustris in the presence of different concentrations of the carotenoid (Car) biosynthetic inhibitor diphenylamine (DPA) has been investigated.
However, both Rps. acidophila and Rps. palustris respond by preferentially incorporating the limiting amount of coloured Cars into their LH2 complexes at the expense of the RC-LH1 complexes.

Chromatophores and peripheral light-harvesting complexes B800-850 with a trace of carotenoids were isolated from Chromatium minutissimum cells in which carotenoid biosynthesis was inhibited by diphenylamine.
Three methods previously used for the reconstitution of carotenoids into either the light-harvesting (LH1) type complexes or reaction centers (RC) of carotenoidless mutants were examined for the possibility of carotenoid reconstitution into the carotenoid depleted chromatophores.

Suppression of this pathway by diphenylamine, an inhibitor of carotenogenesis, yielded nearly carotenoidless complexes preserving their native spectral properties.
Using a previously developed technique, okenone was readily reconstituted into LH1 complex (> 90%) whereas its reconstitution into LH2 complex was of low efficacy (10-20%).
