Isolation and characterization of Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4 which utilizes CO with the production of H2

A novel photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4, was isolated from an anaerobic wastewater sludge digester by virtue of its ability to utilize CO with the production of H^sub 2^. P4 grew under light with CO as a sole carbon source with the doubling time of 2 h and produced H^sub 2^ a...

Description
Summary:A novel photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4, was isolated from an anaerobic wastewater sludge digester by virtue of its ability to utilize CO with the production of H^sub 2^. P4 grew under light with CO as a sole carbon source with the doubling time of 2 h and produced H^sub 2^ at 20.7 mmol ^sup -1^ cell h.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
