Many bacteria use sunlight as an energy source. The energy gained from a solar ray absorbed by a molecule, however, lasts only for a very short time (a mere 0.000000001 seconds!) before it dissipates away and is lost. Within this short time, machinery in the bacterial cell must store the light energy in a longer-lasting form so that it can be used later. A series of reviews describes how bacteria exploit quantum physics to bottle the energy of sunlight for a sufficiently long time to fully utilize it. In a first review we introduce the light harvesting systems of bacteria and their key molecular components, in particular the role of chlorophylls. In a second review we describe how thousands of chlorophylls cooperate to transport the short lived energy of absorbed light to the centers where the energy is converted into a more stable form, namely that of a voltage difference across the bacterial cell wall. In a third review we explain how quantum physics enhances this process of energy transport in bacteria (see also our video). In a fourth review we describe how the individual components of this system come together into their overall organization.
