Occurrence of Purple Sulfur Bacteria in a Sewage Treatment Lagoon
The ecology of purple sulfur bacteria in a sewage oxidation lagoon was investigated. Chemical changes in the lagoon were investigated by monitoring biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), sulfide, sulfate, phosphate, total carbohydrates, volatile acids, alkalinity, and p

Purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria monitor environmental stresses [PDF]
Heavy metal ion pollution and oxygen deficiency are major environmental risks for microorganisms in aqueous habitat. The potential of purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria for biomonitoring and bioremediation was assessed by investigating the photosynthetic capacity in heavy metal contaminated environments. Cultures of bacterial strains Rhodobacter

Growth of Purple Sulfur Bacterium Thiocapsa sp. Shira_1 at Low Temperatures Characteristic of the Chemocline of Lake Shira [PDF]
Forecasting the abundance of phototrophic sulfur bacteria in lakes is very important because 1) these bacteria are major consumers of hydrogen sulfide, and 2) fossil carotenoids of these bacteria are retrospective biomarkers of limnological conditions ...

Marine Purple Photosynthetic Bacteria as Sustainable Microbial Production Hosts
Photosynthetic microorganisms can serve as the ideal hosts for the sustainable production of high-value compounds. Purple photosynthetic bacteria are typical anoxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms and are expected to be one of the suitable ...
