Oxyphotobacteria: antenna ring around photosystem I

Bibby, T.S.; Nield, J.; Partensky, F.; Barber, J.. 2001 Oxyphotobacteria: antenna ring around photosystem I. Nature, 413 (6856). 590. 10.1038/35098153

Abstract
The oceanic picoplankton Prochlorococcus - probably the most abundant photosynthetic organism on our planet - can grow at great depths where light intensity is very low. We have found that the chlorophyll-binding proteins in a deep-living strain of this oxyphotobacterium form a ring around a trimer of the photosystem I (PS I) photosynthetic reaction centre, a clever arrangement that maximizes the capture of light energy in such dim conditions.
