New perspectives on butyrate assimilation in Rhodospirillum rubrum S1H under photoheterotrophic conditions

Abstract Background The great metabolic versatility of the purple non-sulfur bacteria is of particular interest in green technology. Rhodospirillum rubrum S1H is an α-proteobacterium that is capable of photoheterotrophic assimilation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). Butyrate is one of the most abunda...
