Bacteriochlorophyll from?Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides has been used as a standard to calibrate the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
A light-absorbing pigment, closely related to chlorophyll. The magnesium at the center of the tetrapyrrole ring is replaced by manganese.
Bacteriochlorophylls are photosynthetic pigments, that are present in most of the bacteria.
Bacteriochlorophyll/BchF or 3-vinyl-bacteriochlorophyll hydratase is an enzyme present in bacteria, which helps in producing bacteriochlorophyll?a.?Bacteriochlorophyll?a?is formed from chlorophyllide?a.
