Rhodopseudomonas viridis

Blastochloris viridis is a bacterium from the genus Blastochloris which was isolated from water of the Dreisam river in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.[3][4][5][6]

It is one of the lowest energy phototrophs on Earth, owing to its utilisation of bacteriochlorophyll b which yields an absorption maximum of 1015 nm when complexed with the reaction centre.[7]
