Abstract excerpt
Chlorosomes are light-harvesting antenna complexes that occur in green photosynthetic bacteria which have only been shown naturally to contain bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d, or e as the principal light-harvesting pigments. BChl f has long been thought to be an obvious fourth member of the so-called Chlorobium chlorophylls, because it possesses a C-7 formyl group like BChl e and lacks a methyl group at C-20 like...
