Taxonomic note: transfer of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila to the new genus Rhodoblastus as Rhodoblastus acidophilus comb. nov. [PDF]
Rhodopseudomonas acidophila has unique properties among the phototrophic a-Proteobacteria and is quite distinct from the type species of Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodopseudomonas palustris.

Aerobic growth of Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 using selected naphthenic acids as the sole carbon and energy sources [PDF]
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are an important group of toxic organic compounds naturally occurring in hydrocarbon deposits. This work shows that Rhodococcus aetherivorans BCP1 cells not only utilize a mixture of eight different NAs (8XNAs) for growth but they ...

The degradation of lignin-derived aromatic compounds such as benzoate has been extensively studied in Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and the chemistry underpinning the conversion of benzoate to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is well understood.

Gene transfer system for Rhodopseudomonas viridis
A gene transfer system for Rhodopseudomonas viridis was established which uses conjugation with Escherichia coli S17-I as the donor and mobilizable plasmids as vectors. Initially, plasmids of the incompatibility group P1 (pRK290 and pRK404) were used. The more effective shuttle vectors between E. coli and R.

Potassium transport system of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata [PDF]
Rhodopseudomonas capsulata required potassium (or rubidium or cesium as analogs of potassium) for growth. These cations were actively accumulated by the cells by a process following Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics. The monovalent cation transport system had Km's of 0.2 mM K+, 0.5 mM Rb+, and 2.6 mM Cs+.

A Genomotaxonomy View of the Bradyrhizobium Genus
Whole genome analysis of the Bradyrhizobium genus using average nucleotide identity (ANI) and phylogenomics showed the genus to be essentially monophyletic with seven robust groups within this taxon that includes nitrogen-fixing nodule forming bacteria ...

Glycerol-utilizing mutants of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata [PDF]
The isolation and study of glycerol-utilizing mutants of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata indicated that the wild-type organism has genes capable of coding for the catabolism of glycerol but is unable to express them. Furthermore, the genetic lesion in the original glycerol-utilizing mutant, L1, occurred very close to these genes.

The fox Operon from Rhodobacter Strain SW2 Promotes Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodobacter capsulatus SB1003 [PDF]
Anoxygenic photosynthesis based on Fe(II) is thought to be one of the most ancient forms of metabolism and is hypothesized to represent a transition step in the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.
