Effects of Seed Bio-Priming by Purple Non-Sulfur Bacteria (PNSB) on the Root Development of Rice [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
The effects of seed bio-priming (seed soaking) with purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) on the grain productivity and root development of rice were examined by a field study and laboratory experiments, respectively.

Fundamental aspects of sucrose metabolism reveal a trophic link between Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodobacter capsulatus [PDF]

mBio
Purple non-sulfur bacteria (PNSB) are well known to have an exceptional metabolic versatility. However, while the growth of PNSB on sugar-rich streams has been extensively explored, their ability to metabolize sugars is poorly understood.

Acetate metabolism in purple non-sulfur bacteria [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989
The photosynthetic non-sulfur purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus E1F1 can grow on acetate or dl-malate photoheterotrophically under anerobic conditions or chemoheterotrophically in the dark in the presence of dioxygen. Bacterial cells grown under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions exhibited high amounts of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes ...
