Wang et al. present the structures of two unique light-harvesting complexes from Roseospirillum parvum, enhancing the understanding of solar energy capture in purple phototrophic bacteria. These findings highlight the evolutionary diversity of light-harvesting complexes in purple phototrophic bacteria, revealing adaptations that may have originated from a common ancestor.
