Taxogenomics Resolves Conflict in the Genus Rhodobacter: A Two and Half Decades Pending Thought to Reclassify the Genus Rhodobacter

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The genus Rhodobacter is taxonomically well studied, and some members are model organisms. However, this genus is comprised of a heterogeneous group of members.

Role of the Irr protein in the regulation of iron metabolism in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In Rhizobia the Irr protein is an important regulator for iron-dependent gene expression. We studied the role of the Irr homolog RSP_3179 in the photosynthetic alpha-proteobacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

The Extract of Rhodobacter sphaeroides Inhibits Melanogenesis through the MEK/ERK Signaling Pathway

Marine Drugs, 2013
Reducing hyperpigmentation has been a big issue for years. Even though pigmentation is a normal mechanism protecting skin from UV-causing DNA damage and oxidative stress, it is still an aesthetic problem for many people.

Comparative Genome Analysis Provides Molecular Evidence for Reclassification of the Photosynthetic Bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides EBL0706 as a Strain of Luteovulum azotoformans

Microorganisms, 2021
In this study, we conducted a genome-wide comparative analysis of a former Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain EBL0706, which is now recorded as Luteovulum sphaeroides EBL0706. The genome of EBL0706 was compared with that of Luteovulum azotoformans ATCC 17025,

Interaction of two photoreceptors in the regulation of bacterial photosynthesis genes [PDF]

, 2012
The expression of photosynthesis genes in the facultatively photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is controlled by the oxygen tension and by light quantity. Two photoreceptor proteins, AppA and CryB, have been identified in the past, which are
