Gemmatimonas phototrophica  AP64 is the first phototrophic representative of the bacterial phylum  Gemmatimonadetes . The cells contain photosynthetic complexes with bacteriochlorophyll  a  as the main light-harvesting pigment and an unknown carotenoid with a single broad absorption band at 490 nm in methanol. The carotenoid was extracted from isolated photosynthetic complexes, and purified by liquid chromatography. A combination of nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR, COSY,  1 H- 13 C HSQC,  1 H- 13 C HMBC,  J -resolved, and ROESY), high-resolution mass spectroscopy, Fourier-transformed infra-red, and Raman spectroscopy was used to determine its chemical structure. The novel linear carotenoid, that we have named gemmatoxanthin, contains 11 conjugated double bonds and is further substituted by methoxy, carboxyl and aldehyde groups. Its IUPAC-IUBMB semi-systematic name is 1′-Methoxy-19′-oxo-3′,4′-didehydro-7,8,1′,2′-tetrahydro- Ψ, Ψ carotene-16-oic acid. To our best knowledge, the presence of the carboxyl, methoxy and aldehyde groups on a linear C40 carotenoid backbone is reported here for the first time.
