Blastochloris (Blc.) tepida is a newly described thermophilic purple bacterium containing bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) b. Using purified light-harvesting 1 reaction center (LH1-RC) core complexes from Blc. tepida, we compared the biochemical, spectroscopic, and thermal denaturation properties of these complexes with those of its mesophilic counterpart, Blc. viridis. Besides their growth temperature optima, a striking difference between the two species was seen in the carotenoid composition of…
