[edit] Rod model
I´ve done an image based on Bryant and Frigaard (2004) and Bryant et al. (2006).[1][2] Unfortunately, I was not able to include the lamellar model into the picture as I´m not common with drawing programs and so had to use the rather poorly equipped Windows Word ... Anyway, the discussion whether bacteriochlorophyll is organized in rods or lamelles has not been ended yet. Both Bryant and Frigaard show Chlorosome models including the rod hypothesis on their current research pages:
As both scientists are working on the subject, I think the rod hypothesis (de Groot et al. 2001) should be mentioned in this article.[3]
The figure below shows the image I´ve done:
