Abstract
The light-harvesting antennae of the green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobiaceae), known as chlorosomes, are ovoid structures on the inner side of the cytoplasmic membrane. The main component is bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c,d or e, transferring excitation energy to a minor pool of BChl a in the chlorosomes. The excitation energy is then transferred via the Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein to the reaction center in the cytoplasmic membrane.
