Rhodopseudomonas
PhysiologyInfluence of Energy and Electron Availability on In Vivo Methane and Hydrogen Production by a Variant Molybdenum NitrogenaseA variant form of Mo nitrogenase catalyzes the conversion of CO2 and protons to the biofuels CH4 and H2. A constant supply of electrons and ATP is needed to drive these reduction reactions. The bacterium R. palustris generates ATP from light and has a versatile metabolism that makes it ideal for manipulating electron availability...
