Photosynthetic reaction center/graphene bio-hybrid for low-power optoelectronics
Photosynthetic reaction center (pRC) purified from Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 purple bacteria was deposited on a graphene carrier exfoliated from the liquid phase and layered on the surface of SiO2/Si substrate for optoelectronic application.

Abstract Non‐standard amino acids (ncAAs) together with synthetic additions (like caps and linkers) are of wide interest for protein design and pharmaceutical optimization, as they can improve physicochemical properties and possibly reshape protein structure. Their inclusion in experimental structures has not been explored systematically.

Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Involvement of transport in Rhodobacter sphaeroides chemotaxis
The chemotactic response to a range of chemicals was investigated in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, an organism known to lack conventional methyl-accepting sensory transduction proteins. Strong attractants included monocarboxylic acids and monovalent cations.

FliL, a single‐pass transmembrane flagellar protein with a large periplasmic domain, associates with the basal body and supports motor function under high‐load conditions (e.g., viscous environments). The periplasmic domain of deletion mutant FliL forms a flexible ring structure, likely reflecting the capacity of the full‐length protein to adaptively ...

Chromate reduction by Rhodobacter sphaeroides
grew in the presence of up to 43 μM chromate and reduced hexavalent chromium to the trivalent form under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Reduced chromium remained in the external medium. Reductase activity was present in cells of R. sphaeroides independent of whether chromate was present or not in the growth medium.

Identification of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides SOS box [PDF]
Gel‐mobility shift assays with crude cell extracts of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, which belongs to the alpha group of the proteobacteria, have shown that a protein binds to the promoter of its recA gene, resulting in two retardation bands. Analysis of the minimal region of the R.
