Diazotrophic growth of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila and Rhodopseudomonas capsulata under microaerobic conditions in the dark.

Arch. Microbiol. 125, 73-77 (1980)
Verlagsversion DOI
Diazotrophy of Rhodopseudomonas acidophila and Rhodopseudomonas capsulata was not obligatorily linked to photosynthesis. In the dark R. acidophila grew with dinitrogen as sole nitrogen source at a dissolved oxygen tension of 15 Torr (= 2.0 kPa); the doubling time was 8 h. Acetylene reduction by whole cells was more sensitive to oxygen in the light than in the dark. 16.5 mg N2 were fixed per g lactic acid consumed. R. capsulata synthesized nitrogenase and fixed dinitrogen in the dark at a dissolved oxygen tension of less than one Torr (= 0.13 kPa). The doubling time of this bacterium was 16 h and 10.5 mg N2 were fixed per g lactic acid consumed.
