I'm sure I'm in way over my head in my attempt to answer so don't take this as fact. I'm assuming Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (AAPBs) at this point. I've read the only photosynthetic pigment that exists in AAPB is BChl a. AAPBs are currently classified taxonomically in 2 marine genera listed as, Erythrobacter and Roseobacter.
