Chlorosome baseplate, illustration
Illustration showing the structure of the baseplate of the chlorosome from the photosynthetic green sulphur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum. Chlorosomes are light-harvesting antenna and part of the photosynthetic apparatus of certain bacteria. These large complexes enable the bacteria to live in low-light environments. The baseplate is formed from the protein CsmA and bacteriochlorophyll a., by FRANCISCO J. ENGUITA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
