Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic and genetic characteristics of 14 strains of the purple nonsulfur bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris were studied to assess diversity within this species. While all strains had certain phenotypic characteristics in common, including the ability to metabolize benzoate and degrade 2- and 3-chlorobenzoate, there were also significant differences among the strains such as the rate of growth in media...
