Chlorosomes Notes:
A chlorosome, commonly found in green sulfur bacteria and a few green filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs, is basically a photosynthetic antenna complex. They are different from other antenna complexes, because of their large size. They also do not have a protein matrix supporting the photosynthetic pigments.
