Aerobic photoheterotrophs (AAPs) are a functional group of bacteria that can utilize sun light to produce ATP, thus providing additional energy source. They are widely distributed in the oxygen-contai
The bchP gene product of Rhodobacter sphaeroides is responsible for the reduction of the isoprenoid moiety of bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl) from geranylgeraniol (GG) to phytol; here, we show that this en
Microscopic algae release organic compounds to the region immediately surrounding their cells, known as phycosphere, constituting a niche for colonization by heterotrophic bacteria. These bacteria upt
