Bacteriophytochromes in anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria.
Since the first discovery of a bacteriophytochrome in Rhodospirillum centenum, numerous bacteriophytochromes have been identified and characterized in other anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria. This review is focused on the biochemical and biophysical properties of bacteriophytochromes with a special emphasis on their roles in the synthesis of the photosynthetic apparatus.
