Abstract

Rho.do.pseu.do.mo' nas. Gr. n. rhodon the rose; M.L. fem. n. Pseudomonas a bacterial genus; M.L. fem. n. Rhodopseudomonas the red Pseudomonas.

Proteobacteria / Alphaproteobacteria / Rhizobiales / Bradyrhizobiaceae / Rhodopseudomonas

Cells are rod-shaped, motile by means of polar or subpolar 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 of the spirilloxanthin series. Straight-chain monounsaturated C 18:1 is the major component of cellular fatty acids. Contains ubiquinones with 10 isoprene units (Q-10).

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 64.8–66.3.

Type species: Rhodopseudomonas palustris (Molisch 1907) van Niel 1944, 89 (“Rhodobacillus palustris” Molisch 1907, 14.)
