Diversity of Purple Phototrophic Bacteria, Inferred from pufM Gene, within Epilithic Biofilm in Tama River, Japan
The diversity of purple phototrophic bacteria in algae-dominated biofilm of a streambed in Tama River, Japan was investigated. Clone library analysis of the pufM gene encoding a subunit of the photochemical reaction center of purple bacteria detected 18 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in several classes of Proteobacteria. Most of the OTUs showed less than 85% identity to the PufM amino acid ...
متن کاملPhylogenetically Diverse Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria Isolated from Epilithic Biofilms in Tama River, Japan
The diversity of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria in freshwater environments, particularly in rivers, has not been examined in as much detail as in ocean environments. In the present study, we investigated the phylogenetic and physiological diversities of AAP bacteria in biofilms that developed on submerged stones in a freshwater river using culture methods. The biofilms collected...
متن کاملDimethylsulphoxide reductase from purple phototrophic bacteria: structures and mechanism(s).
With the exception of nitrogenase, molybdenum is present in a diverse, but coherent group of enzymes which contain a pterin molybdenum cofactor (Moco) as a prosthetic group [l]. This group of enzymes, known as the molybdenum oxotransferases and hydroxylases, carry out a two-electron oxidation-reduction reaction which is linked to oxygen atom transfer to or from a substrate. This is illustrated ...
متن کاملBacteriocin from Purple Nonsulfur Phototrophic Bacteria, Rhodobacter capsulatus
To find whether productivity of bacteriocin is controlled between different species under unusual cultural conditions, we used Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 17016 as a producer and Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC 17003 as an indicator. Rhodobacter capsulatus was cultured under aerobic conditions in the dark in Lascelles medium containing 0.3% Triton X-100. As a result, bacteriocin productivity in...
متن کاملRemarkable diversity of phototrophic purple bacteria in a permanently frozen Antarctic lake.
Although anoxygenic photosynthesis is thought to play an important role in the primary productivity of permanently frozen lakes in the Antarctic dry valleys, the bacterial communities responsible for this metabolism remain uncharacterized. Here we report the composition and activity of phototrophic purple bacteria in Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, as determined by analysis of a photosynthesis-specif...
