Rhodobacter capsulatus forms a compact crescent-shaped LH1–RC photocomplex

Rhodobacter capsulatus is a favored model organism for studying bacterial photosynthesis. Here the authors present a structure of its light-harvesting–reaction center complex, which reveals that it forms a crescent shape containing only 10 LH1 αβ-subunits.
