• Protein content: Approximately 30-70% wet weight.

Proteins involved in photosynthesis (bacteriochlorophyll proteins), nitrogen fixation, electron transport, carbon metabolism and metabolic processes.

Key Proteins includes: photosynthetic proteins, cytochromes, and enzymes for energy production, anaerobic respiration and cellular functions.

• Amino acids form a significant portion of the protein content.

• Amino acid content: Integral to protein synthesis.

• Key amino acids: glutamine, glutamate, asparagine, aspartate, glutamate, alanine, valine, glycine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, arginine, threonine and isoleucine.

CARBOHYDRATES

• Carbohydrate content: Around 10-30% wet weight.

Major carbohydrate: glycogen (storage polysaccharide).

Also includes small amounts of simple sugars like glucose, fructose, mannose and other polysaccharides.

VITAMINS

Vitamins help facilitate key biochemical pathways and enzyme functions.

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)

• Vitamin E

• B-vitamins: Present in significant amounts, playing key roles in metabolic processes and enzyme function:

Biotin, Riboflavin, Thiamine, Pantothenic acid, Niacin, Lipoic Acid, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, Cobalamin, Inositol, and Choline

PIGMENTS

• Bacteriochlorophyll a: Essential for photosynthesis, contributing around 2-5% of wet weight.

• Chlorophyll

• Contains carotenoids, such as zeaxanthin and lycopene, fucoxanthin, lutein, ß-carotene which help in protecting the bacterium from oxidative stress and assist in light capture.

LIPIDS

Lipids are crucial for maintaining cellular membrane integrity, especially in photosynthetic and respiratory processes.

Lipid content: Approximately 10-20% wet weight.

Heavy Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) & Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)

Includes phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol) which are major components of cellular membranes, glycolipids, and neutral lipids.

Saturated Fatty Acids - Palmitic acid & Stearic acid

Monounsaturated Fatty Acids - Oleic acid
