Abstract
Most species of photosynthetic bacteria contain two major types of antenna complex. The LH1 or B880 complex (so designated according to the λ max of the near-infrared absorption band) surrounds the RC to form the ‘core’ (LH1-RC) complex, while the other (LH2 or B800-850/820), which is present in variable amounts, forms a peripheral network of pigment-protein complexes that surround and connect the core complexes [1]. Some species of purple bacteria like Rhodospirillum (Rs.) rubrum, Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) viridis and Rhodobium (Rh.) marinum contain LH1 as the only antenna complex [2].
