Predicting compatibility between ferredoxins and the Fe protein of nitrogenase using in silico protein modeling

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Biological nitrogen fixation is the process by which certain bacteria and archaea use the enzyme nitrogenase to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into bioavailable ammonium. Engineering non‐nitrogen‐fixing organisms, like plants, to use nitrogenase could reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizer and mitigate the environmental impacts of industrial ...

Experimental and Computational Investigation of Biofilm Formation by Rhodopseudomonas palustris Growth under Two Metabolic Modes.

PLoS ONE, 2015
We examined biofilms formed by the metabolically versatile bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris grown via different metabolic modes. R. palustris was grown in flow cell chambers with identical medium conditions either in the presence or absence of light ...

Revealing the functions of the transketolase enzyme isoforms in Rhodopseudomonas palustris using a systems biology approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. palustris) is a purple non-sulfur anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium that belongs to the class of proteobacteria. It is capable of absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and converting it to biomass via the process

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Fluorescent proteins: A journey from the cell to extreme environments in material science

Photochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 2, Page 290-302, March/April 2026.
Applications of proteins and microorganisms as tools or effectors in material science. Abstract This review presents the progression from the use of fluorescent proteins (FPs) and chromoproteins as bioimaging labels and sensors to the strategic engineering of their properties for robust functionality in synthetic and non‐biological environments ...

Phototrophic extracellular electron uptake is linked to carbon dioxide fixation in the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris

Nature Communications, 2019
Extracellular electron uptake (EEU) is the ability of microbes to take up electrons from solid-phase conductive substances such as metal oxides. EEU is performed by prevalent phototrophic bacterial genera, but the electron transfer pathways and the ...

Non‐ Conventional Agents Enhance Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum) Defense against Aphis Gossypii, Thrips Tabaci, and Their Predators Chrysoperla Carnea and Orius Insidiosus

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A study conducted in Egypt evaluated the effectiveness of chemical and microbial agents in enhancing sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum) defenses against major pests Aphis gossypii and Thrips tabaci and their natural predators, Chrysoperla carnea and Orius insidiosus. Five foliar treatments were tested under greenhouse conditions during

Insights into arsenic multi-operons expression and arsenic resistance mechanisms in Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Arsenic (As) is widespread in the environment and causes numerous health problems. Rhodopseudomonas palustris has been regarded as a good model organism for studying arsenic detoxification since it was first demonstrated to methylate environmental ...

Soil Phosphatase Enzyme Activity as Influenced by Agro‐Ecological Zones in Central Nepal

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil is a dynamic ecosystem that sustains a diverse community of organisms, enhancing its vitality and functions. Biochemical processes within the soil contribute to its active nature, with enzymes produced by organisms and plants playing roles in reactions. Phosphatases hydrolyze organic phosphorus to plant‐available phosphate ions.
