Natural carotenoids are secondary metabolites that exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
and anti-cancer properties. These types of compounds are highly demanded by …

Purple phototrophic bacteria are one of the main actors in chemolithotrophic carbon fixation
and, therefore, fundamental in the biogeochemical cycle. These microbes are capable of …

Two bacterial strains (JC130T and JA747T) were isolated from dry soils of a solar saltern.
Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain JA747T clustered with species of the genus …

The Ectothiorhodospiraceae family represents purple sulfur bacteria of the
Gammaproteobacteria found primarily in alkaline soda lakes of moderate to extremely high …

The anaerobic phototrophic purple bacteria are a phylogenetically highly diverse group of
bacteria with the common physiological property of performing anoxygenic photosynthesis …

Strain JC164T was isolated from a water sample from a rice field at Jamdih, Mau, Uttar
Pradesh, India. Colonies of strain JC164T were brown–yellow and cells were Gram-stain …

A novel thermophilic, facultatively autotrophic bacterium, strain S2479T, was isolated from a
thermal spring located in a tidal zone of a geothermally heated beach (Kuril Islands, Russia) …

Two bacterial strains (JA744T and JA745) were isolated from dry soil samples collected from
solar salterns at Humma, Odisha, India. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, catalase …

Anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria have conquered various types of habitats of extreme
conditions of temperature, pH and salinity. A short overview is given on the species found …

Extremophilic anaerobes are widespread in saline, acid, alkaline, and high or low
temperature environments. Carbon is essential to living organisms and its fixation …
