Abstract
ABSTRACT The pigment composition of “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila,” a filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium found in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was determined. Previous work showed that bacteriochlorophyll c (BChl c ) was the major pigment in “ Ca . Chlorothrix halophila,” but it was not clear if this bacterium also contains BChl a (J. A. K

Initial Characterization of the Photosynthetic Apparatus of “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila,” a Filamentous, Anoxygenic Photoautotroph

Names
“Chlorotrichoides halophilum”
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila” is a recently described halophilic, filamentous, anoxygenic photoautotroph (J. A. Klappenbach and B. K. Pierson, Arch. Microbiol. 181: 17-25, 2004) that was enriched from the hypersaline microbial mats at Guerrero Negro, Mexico. Analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus by negative staining, spectroscopy, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that t
