Quest for minor but key chlorophyll molecules in photosynthetic reaction centers - unusual pigment composition in the reaction centers of the chlorophyll d-dominated cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina.
A short overview, based on our own findings, is given of the minor pigments that function as key components in photosynthesis. Recently, we found the presence of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll d' and pheophytin a as minor pigments in the chlorophyll d-dominated cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina.
