proclorófitos
Scope note: Orden de BACTERIAS FOTOSINTÉTICAS OXIGÉNICAS GRAMNEGATIVAS que contienen CLOROFILA, a y b, pero carecen de FICOBILISOMAS (antenas recolectoras de luz). Existen tres géneros: PROCHLORON; PROCHLOROCOCCUS; y PROCHLOROTHRIX. Se pensaba que este orden era el nexo de unión que faltaba entre las CIANOBACTERIAS y los CLOROPLASTOS de las plantas, de ahí su nombre.

Scope note: An order of GRAM-NEGATIVE OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA containing CHLOROPHYLL, a and b, but lacking PHYCOBILISOMES (light-harvesting antennae). There are three genera: PROCHLORON; PROCHLOROCOCCUS; and PROCHLOROTHRIX. This order was thought to be the missing link between CYANOBACTERIA and plant CHLOROPLASTS, hence the name.
