Figure 1. Linear absorption spectra and schematics of the photosynthetic apparatus of C. tepidum.

Figure 1

The antenna chlorosome, baseplate, FMO complex, and reaction center are arranged as an energetic funnel, as revealed in the linear absorption spectrum. Dipole directions of eight BChls a within a FMO monomer are indicated by black arrows. The linear absorption spectra has been calculated at temperature 300 K with parameters from Table 1 (see Methods).
