Rhodopseudomonas palustris: A biotechnology chassis
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is an attractive option for biotechnical applications and industrial engineering due to its metabolic versatility and its ability to catabolize a wide variety of feedstocks and convert them to several high-value products. Given its adaptable metabolism, R.

Physiological and Mechanistic Studies of Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Purple Non-sulfur Bacteria [PDF]
Phototrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria use electrons from ferrous iron [Fe(II)] and energy from light to drive reductive CO₂ fixation. This metabolism is thought to be ancient in origin, and plays an important role in environmental iron cycling. It has

Ferrochelatase of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides [PDF]
Extracts of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides contain two ferrochelatases: one is soluble and forms metalloporphyrins from deuteroporphyrin and haematoporphyrin; the other is particulate and forms metalloporphyrins from protoporphyrin, mesoporphyrin, deuteroporphyrin and haematoporphyrin.

Many photosynthetic bacteria have peripheral light-harvesting (LH) antenna complexes that increase the efficiency of light energy capture. The purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris produces different types of LH complexes ...

Carbohydrate Metabolism in Rhodopseudomonas spheroides [PDF]
SUMMARY: The wild-type strain of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides 2.4.1 does not utilize exogenously supplied gluconate and grows poorly with glucose, fructose or mannose as substrates, accumulating aldonic acids and 2-keto-3-deoxy gluconic acid in media containing these sugars. Mutants which are capable of growing well with glucose without the accumulation

Porin from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides [PDF]
A protein homooligomer was purified from both the cell envelope fractions and the saline extracts of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides cells. This oligomer exhibited strong porin activity when reconstituted into proteoliposomes with egg phosphatidylcholine. In the saline extracts of both chemotrophically and phototrophically grown cells, the porin oligomer ...

Metabolism of Methanol by Rhodopseudomonas acidophila [PDF]
Rhodopseudomonas acidophila strain 10050, grown anaerobically in the light on methanol, contained a methanol and formaldehyde dehydrogenase which could be coupled to phenazine methosulphate; an NAD-linked formaldehyde dehydrogenase which required GSH for activity; and an NAD-linked formate dehydrogenase.

CHEMICALLY MODIFIED PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIAL REACTION CENTERS: CIRCULAR DICHROISM, RAMAN RESONANCE, LOW TEMPERATURE ABSORPTION, FLUORESCENCE AND ODMR SPECTRA AND POLYPEPTIDE COMPOSITION OF BOROHYDRIDE TREATED REACTION CENTERS FROM Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26 [PDF]
Reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides have been modified by treatment with sodium borohydride similar to the original procedure [Ditson et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 766, 623 (1984)], and investigated spectroscopically and by gel electrophoresis.
