Structural basis for the assembly and quinone transport mechanisms of the dimeric photosynthetic RC–LH1 supercomplex

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Bacterial photosynthesis reflects the early stages of the evolution of photosynthesis. Here, the authors present a systematic study of the cryo-EM structures of the dimeric light harvesting–reaction center complexes and assembly variants from Rhodobacter

Ammonium and methylammonium transport in Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1987
Rhodobacter sphaeroides maintained intracellular ammonium pools of 1.1 to 2.6 mM during growth in several fixed nitrogen sources as well as during diazotrophic growth. Addition of 0.15 mM NH4+ to washed, nitrogen-free cell suspensions was followed by linear uptake of NH4+ from the medium and transient formation of intracellular pools of 0.9 to 1.5 mM ...

Features of Rhodobacter sphaeroides CcmFH [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 2003
ABSTRACT In this study, the in vivo function and properties of two cytochrome c maturation proteins, CcmF and CcmH from Rhodobacter sphaeroides , were analyzed. Strains lacking CcmH or both CcmF and CcmH are unable to grow under anaerobic conditions where c ...

Cardiolipin Alters Rhodobacter sphaeroides Cell Shape by Affecting Peptidoglycan Precursor Biosynthesis

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Cardiolipin (CL) is an anionic phospholipid that plays an important role in regulating protein biochemistry in bacteria and mitochondria. Deleting the CL synthase gene (Δcls) in Rhodobacter sphaeroides depletes CL and decreases cell length by 20%.

Phosphotransfer in Rhodobacter sphaeroides Chemotaxis

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2002
The two-component sensing system controlling bacterial chemotaxis is one of the best studied in biology. Rhodobacter sphaeroides has a complex chemosensory pathway comprising two histidine protein kinases (CheAs) and eight downstream response regulators (six CheYs and two CheBs) rather than the single copies of each as in Escherichia coli.

Supplementing in the diet of lactating Holstein cows may naturally produce coenzyme Q10-enriched milk [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018
Objective To examine the effects of Rhodobacter sphaeroides (R. sphaeroides) supplementation as a direct-fed microbial (DFM) on rumen fermentation in dairy cows and on coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) transition into milk, an in vitro rumen simulation batch culture ...

The architecture of Rhodobacter sphaeroides chromatophores

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2014
The chromatophores of Rhodobacter (Rb.) sphaeroides represent a minimal bio-energetic system, which efficiently converts light energy into usable chemical energy. Despite extensive studies, several issues pertaining to the morphology and molecular architecture of this elemental energy conversion system remain controversial or unknown.

Rhodobacter azotoformans LPS (RAP99-LPS) Is a TLR4 Agonist That Inhibits Lung Metastasis and Enhances TLR3-Mediated Chemokine Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of Rhodobacter are reported to be TLR4 antagonists. Accordingly, the extract of Rhodobacter azotoformans (RAP99) is used as a health supplement for humans and animals in Japan to regulate immune responses in vivo.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
