Description |
|
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is a purple non-sulfur phototrophic
bacterium that belongs to the Alpha-Proteobacteria and is widely distributed in
nature as indicated by its isolation from sources as diverse as swine waste
lagoons, earthworm droppings, marine coastal sediments and pond water. It has
extraordinary metabolic versatility and grows by any one of the four modes of
metabolism that support life: photoautotrophic or photosynthetic (energy from
light and carbon from carbon dioxide), photoheterotrophic (energy from light and
carbon from organic compounds), chemoheterotrophic (carbon and energy from
organic compounds) and chemoautotrophic (energy from inorganic compounds and
carbon from carbon dioxide). R. palustris enjoys exceptional
flexibility within each of these modes of metabolism (Ref.1, 2 & 3).
