Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

Chlorosomes are the distinguishing light-harvesting antenna complexes that are found in
green photosynthetic bacteria. They contain bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d, e in natural …

Among the natural light-harvesting (LH) systems, those of green sulfur and nonsulfur
photosynthetic bacteria are exceptional because they lack the support of a protein matrix …

Photosynthesis begins when a network of pigment–protein complexes captures solar energy
and transports it to the reaction center, where charge separation occurs. When necessary …

Photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes play important roles in the early events in
photosynthesis in nature, and have been studied by various spectroscopic methodologies …

Photosynthetic light-harvesting antennas possess a variety of supramolecular structures with
the same function (collecting sunlight energy), dependent on their living habitats and …

Chlorophyll molecules are well organized for efficient energy or electron transfer in a light-
harvesting antenna or a reaction center of photosynthetic organisms. In order to make …

The photosynthetic pigment “chlorophyll” possesses attractive photophysical properties,
including efficient sunlight absorption, photoexcited energy transfer, and charge separation …

The following sections are included: List of Abbreviations I. Introduction II. Characterization
of Chlorophylls A. Structures and Nomenclature B. Light Absorption III. Natural Chlorophylls …

An uncultured member of the phylum Chlorobi, provisionally named 'Candidatus
Thermochlorobacter aerophilum', occurs in the microbial mats of alkaline siliceous hot …
