Summary:Various aspects of excitation energy conversion in anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria are surveyed. This minireview discusses different models that have been proposed during the past 60 years to describe excitation energy transfer from an antenna molecule to the reaction center. First, a simple one-dimensional model was suggested, but over time the models became more detailed when structural and dynamic information was included. This review focuses mainly on the picture of purple bacteria and green sulfur bacteria developed during the past decades.
