Abstract Bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl)a was found in strains of the strictly aerobic acidophilic heterotrophic bacteria:Acidiphilium rubrum, A. angustum, andA. cryptum. Absorption spectra of the cell-free extracts showed a large peak at 865 nm and a small peak around 802 nm. Anaerobic growth was not observed in either the light or the dark. Bchla was not detected in eitherA. organovorum orA. facilis. Bchla contents were less than ca. 0.7 nmol/mg dry cell weight, being variable among the species.
