RESUMO
We found that polyclonal antibodies raised against chlorosome polypeptides from green sulfur bacteria reacted to Chlorobium tepidum, Chlorobium limicola, and Chlorobium phaeobacteroides but not to Chloroflexus aurantiacus. These antibodies successfully labeled only green sulfur species in marine microbial mat samples. Our results suggest that these antibodies may be useful as immunohistochemical probes.
