title: Time line of discoveries: anoxygenic bacterial photosynthesis.
abstract: A time line of important research relating to anoxygenic photosynthetic organisms is presented. The time line includes discoveries of organisms, metabolic capabilities, molecular complexes and genetic systems. It also pinpoints important milestones in our understanding of the structure, function, organization, assembly and regulation of photosynthetic complexes.
