    Glycolipid analyses of light-harvesting chlorosomes from envelope protein mutants of Chlorobaculum tepidum

    Chlorosomes are large and efficient light-harvesting organelles in green photosynthetic bacteria, and they characteristically contain large numbers of bacteriochlorophyll c, d, or e molecules. Self-aggregated bac...
