Isolation and characterization of a subunit form of the B875 light-harvesting complex from Rhodobacter capsulatus.

abstract：:Self-aggregation of naturally occurring bacteriochlorophyll (BChl)-e in nonpolar organic solvents was investigated by visible absorption, fluorescence emission and circular dichroism spectra. Cultured brown-colored photosynthetic bacteria have several BChl-e as light-harvesting antenna pigments. Three major BChl-e hom...
