Rhodobacter capsulatus is a purple nonsulfur bacterium with versatile metabolic characteristics. Before SB1003 was designated the type strain, many studies were performed with the SL (St. Louis) strai
Most isolates of Rhodospirilaceae are senstive to penicillin, but Weaver et al (1975) found the Rhodobacter capsulatus strain sp108 to be resistant to high levels of beta-lactam antibiotics. This stra
