Abstract excerpt

Photosynthetic prokaryotes that assimilate CO2 under anoxic conditions may also grow chemolithoautotrophically with O2 as the electron acceptor. Among the nonsulfur purple bacteria, two species (Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodopseudomonas acidophilus), exhibit aerobic chemolithoautotrophic growth...
