Photobiodegradation of pyridine by Rhodopseudomonas palustris JA1.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A purple non-sulfur bacterium isolated from dairy effluent was identified as Rps. palustris JA1. This organism was able to grow on pyridine as sole source of carbon in a light dependent anaerobic process with a doubling time of 30 h. Intermediates of pyridine photobiodegradation were identified as glycine and malonate, produced in stoichiometric molar ratios with simultaneous utilization, yielding biomass.

Biodegradation of Homocyclic and Heterocyclic Aromatic Compounds by Rhodopseudomonas palustris Strains
Six strains were isolated from Lake Akşehir (Konya-Turkey) and identified as Rhodopseudomonas palustris on the basis of physiological and morphological characteristics. The strains grew phototrophically on a variety of aromatic compounds (under illuminated anaerobic conditions), namely, benzoate, hippurate, benzyl alcohol, 2-amino benzoic acid, phloroglucinol, phenylacetic acid, catechol, pyrid...
متن کاملEnergy-linked pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase activity in photosynthetically grown Rhodopseudomonas palustris.
Rhodopseudomonas palustris (ATCC 17001) develops energy-dependent NADP+ transhydrogenase activity while growing photosynthetically on thiosulfate, formate, or acetate as the electron donors. The enzymatic activity is present in the supernatant fraction S-144 000. -- As reported, this fraction contains small membrane fragments but no closed vesicles and was shown to drive energy-dependent revers...
متن کاملRespiratory electron flow and ATPase system in photosynthetically grown Rhodopseudomonas palustris.
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is grown photosynthetically on thiosulfate. As pointed out earlier, the chromatophore deficient cell-free fraction S-144,000 catalyzes the thiosulfate-linked ATP-dependent reversal of electron transfer in anaerobiosis, thus providing reducing equivalents in the form of NADH. Under aerobic conditions, this fraction also catalyzes the oxidation of NADH, ferro-cytochrome...
متن کاملPotential early intermediates in anaerobic benzoate degradation by Rhodopseudomonas palustris.
Alkali-treated extracts of Rhodopseudomonas palustris growing photosynthetically on benzoate were examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for partially reduced benzoate derivatives. Two cyclic dienes, cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1-carboxylate and cyclohexa-1,4-diene-1-carboxylate, were detected. Either compound supported cell growth as effectively as benzoate. These results suggest that these ...

The CO2 fixation ability of Rhodopseudomonas palustris DH was enhanced by introducing the recombinant plasmid pMG-CBBM containing the form II ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) gene (cbbM) isolated from Rps. palustris NO. 7. Sequencing of a 3.0-kb PstI fragment containing the cbbM gene revealed an open reading frame encoding 461 amino acids, homologous to known cbbM genes...
