It is shown that the results provided in a variety of publications, which deal with structural characterization of green bacteria chlorosoma, are in explicit contradiction with kinetic and energy characteristics of microorganisms studied. The data on chlorosoma structure and composition represent no explanation as to how the additional quantity of electronic excitations generated by light in its dominating pigment C750 feeds the main photosystem.. In order to reveal the contradictions, the structural and spectral data on chlorosoma are analyzed in cooperation with the theory of inductive resonance developed by T. Ferster.
