Bioremediation of waste by the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris
Rhodopseudomonas palustris is a photosynthetic bacterium capable of metabolising a broad range of substrates. It is a highly robust microorganism with a high tolerance for toxic conditions, making it an ideal candidate for the remediation of waste materials by metabolism. Our societies produce …

Optimisation of use of waste materials by Rhodopseudomonas palustris
… is an option with considerable potential, and *Rhodopseudomonas palustris* is a strong candidate for bioremediation of waste glycerol. *Rhodopseudomonas palustris* is a hardy, toxin-resistant, and metabolically flexible bacterium. These traits make it an ideal candidate for breaking down waste …

Development of Rhodopseudomonas palustris as a chassis for biotechnological applications
… more commercially viable. The purple bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris is able to metabolize glycerol through photofermentation and thereby produce hydrogen, a commercially useful commodity. R. palustris is of particular interest for this purpose as, in contrast to many other species which …

Interactions of Fe(II) with the iron oxidizing bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1
… Previous work with the purple photoferrotroph Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 showed that three genes were required for phototrophic growth with Fe(Il): PioA, a decaheme cytochrome, PioB, an outer membrane porin, and PioC, a high potential iron protein (HiPIP). These proteins suggested a model …

Use of a Purple Non-Sulphur Bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, as a Biocatalyst for Hydrogen Production from Glycerol
… was aimed to use a purple non-sulphur bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, as a biocatalyst for hydrogen production, from the waste of biodiesel manufacturing, crude glycerol. The goal of this project was to understand the fundamentals relevant to scaling up the process and developing an off the …

Studies on the different types of LH2 complexes from the purple non-sulphur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain 2.1.6
Some purple bacteria species, such as Rhodopseudomonas palustris 2.1.6, produce light harvesting antenna (LH2) with unusual absorption spectra when they are grown under low-light intensities. This ability is often related to the presence of multiple genes encoding the LH2 apoproteins. This thesis …

Performance analysis of bioanode materials and the study of the metabolic activity of Rhodopseudomonas palustris in photo-bioelectrochemical systems
… of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC® 17001™, by varying the ratio of nitrogen to carbon sources (N:C) to maximise both biohydrogen production and exoelectrogenesis for conversion into bioelectricity in photosynthetic microbial fuel cells (photoMFCs). A …

Diversity of polycyclic triterpenoids in Rhodospirillum rubrum
… c-proteobacteria, including Zymomonas mobilis, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and Rhodomicrobium vannielii. The presence and relative abundance of polycyclic triterpenoids in R. rubrum varied with the growth stage (exponential versus early stationary phase) and growth condition (photoheterotrophic …

Optimizing electrogenic activity from photosynthetic bacteria in bioelectrochemical systems
… the purple non-sulphur α-proteobacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 was used to test the effect of storage molecule synthesis knockout in a more industrially relevant organic carbon source driven BES, or microbial fuel cell (MFC). However, the removal of glycogen and …

DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC MICROBIAL FUEL CELLS FOR AZO DYE DEGRADATION
… model dye Acid Orange-7 (AO-7) was treated using Rhodopseudomonas palustris in a photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (PMFC). R. palustris was selected due to its metabolic versatility and potential for complete dye degradation. Results demonstrated complete decolourisation and irreversible …

Photophysics of Biological and Synthetic Multichromophoric Systems : Spectroscopic Investigations of Bacterial Light-Harvesting Complexes and of Carbonyl-Bridged Triarylamine Derivatives
… in a picosecond-range on isolated RC-LH1 from Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Their fluorescence decay was recorded dependent on the excitation fluence and the repetition rate of the excitation laser. Both parameters were varied over three orders of magnitude. We observed three components in the …
