Purple photosynthetic bacteria from a tropical mangrove environment
Tóm tắt
Purple photosynthetic bacterial strains were isolated from mud samples collected from the mudflats of Pichavaram mangroves (Tamil Nadu, India) in 1989 and 1990. The presence of two major groups of photosynthetic purple bacteria was recorded, viz., Group 1: purple sulphur bacteria (family Chromatiaceae, strains belonging toChromatium sp.); and Group 2: purple nonsulphur bacteria (family Rhodospirillaceae, strains apparently belonging toRhodopseudomonas sp.).
