In this article we will discuss about the presence of pigments in photosynthetic bacteria. Because of the presence of carotenoids in all photosynthetic tissues their role is anticipated in photosynthesis. The tissue/cells rich in carotenoids devoid of chlorophyll do not photosynthesize. Light energy absorbed by carotenoids appears to be transferred to chlorophyll a or bacteriochlorophyll a and utilized in the [...]
