Abstract

Rho.do.blas' tus. Gr. n. rhodon the rose; Gr. n. blastos bud shoot; M.L. masc. n. Rhodoblastus the budding rose.

Proteobacteria / Alphaproteobacteria / Rhizobiales / Bradyrhizobiaceae / Rhodoblastus

Cells are rod shaped, motile by means of flagella; show polar growth, budding, and asymmetric cell division. Gram negative and belong to the Alphaproteobacteria . Internal photosynthetic membranes appear as lamellae underlying and parallel to the cytoplasmic membrane. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids. Straight-chain monounsaturated C18:1, C16:1, and saturated C16:0 are the major cellular fatty acids. Contain ubiquinones, rhodoquinones, and menaquinones with 10 isoprene units (Q-10, MK-10, and RQ-10).

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 62.2–66.8.

Type species: Rhodoblastus acidophilus (Rhodopseudomonas acidophila Pfennig 1969a, 601) Imhoff 2001, 1865.
