Gliding bacterium

The primary acceptor of the green gliding bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus is a menaquinone [41]. It appears that, in spite of its green color brought about by the presence of antenna BChl c pigments, the photosystem of this bacterium is very similar to that of the purple bacteria (Chapter 3). 

Monocyclic Carotenoids. The major pigments of the gliding bacterium Herpetosiphon giganteus are monocyclic carotenoids based on the T-hydroxy-3, 4 -didehydro-l, 2 -dihydro-j8,i/f-caroten-4-one structure (28) with the C-1 tertiary hydroxy-group substituted with fatty-acyl diglucosyl or fatty-acyl mannosyl residues. ...
