Abstract A complex, consisting of protein (38%), pheophytin plus protochlorophyll (20%), fatty acids (13%), sugars (15.5%) and other minor components, excreted by mutant strains of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata during exponential growth, was found to be synthesized at a low pO2. The correlations between the protein, sugar and fatty acid components of the pigment complex with those of the intracytoplasmic membranes and cell walls were investigated and discussed.
