General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function a mutant lacking BciD exclusively gives bacteriochlorophyll-c, but not bacteriochlorophyll-e. The mutation drastically alters the homolog and epimer composition of the pigment. The methylation at the 82-position in the mutant cells proceeds to create bacteriochlorophyll-c carrying large alkyl substituents at this position. Correspondingly, the content of bacteriochlorophyll-c having the (S)-configuration at the chiral 31-position remarkably increases and accounts for 80.6% of the total bacteriochlorophyll-c. A new bacteriochlorophyll-c bearing the bulky triple 82-methylated neopentyl substituent at the 8-position is produced Chlorobaculum limnaeum
