Does bacteria have chloropyll?

Chlorophyll is the green pigment which plants use to absorb sunlight. They use the energy of light to make food in the process called photosynthesis. Most bacteria cannot carry out photosynthesis and so do not contain chlorophyll. However some bacteria can photosynthesise, but they contain a slightly different version of chlorophyll called bacteriochlorophyll. These bacteria are called cyanobacteria or (confusingly) blue-green algae.
