Anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (APB) are a phylogenetically diverse group of organisms
that can harness solar energy for their growth and metabolism. These bacteria vary broadly …

The reaction center (RC) of heliobacteria contains iron–sulfur centers as terminal electron
acceptors, analogous to those of green sulfur bacteria as well as photosystem I in …

The soda lake environment presents microorganisms with many combinations of physical
and chemical extremes, amongst them extremes of alkaline pH, salinity (NaCl), temperature …

A diverse group of anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria thrive in habitats characterized by
extremes of temperature, pH, or salinity. These 'extremophilic'anoxygenic phototrophs are …

Despite the fact that heliobacteria are the only phototrophic representatives of the bacterial
phylum Firmicutes, genomic analyses of these organisms have yet to be reported. Here we …

A novel, thermophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, strain isl-2T, was
isolated from the Strokkur Geyser, Iceland. Strain isl-2T formed unbranched multicellular …

Most anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria can use inorganic sulfur compounds (eg sulfide,
elemental sulfur, polysulfides, thiosulfate, or sulfide) as electron donors for reductive carbon …

A survey is given of various aspects of the photosynthetic processes in heliobacteria. The
review mainly refers to results obtained since 1995, which had not been covered earlier. It …

Heliobacteria are a recently discovered group of anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, first
described in 1983. Heliobacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll g, a pigment unique to species …
