Abstract: Abstract The oceanic picoplankton Prochlorococcus — probably the most abundant photosynthetic organism on our planet1,2 — can grow at great depths where light intensity is very low3. We have found that the chlorophyll-binding proteins in a deep-living strain of this oxyphotobacterium form a ring around a trimer of the photosystem I (PS I) photosynthetic reaction centre, a clever arrangement that maximizes the capture of light energy in such dim conditions.
