Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic respiration in the Rhodospirillaceae: characterisation of pathways and evaluation of roles in redox balancing during photosynthesis
TL;DR: The principal objective of this review is to discuss the possibility that, apart from a role in energy conservation, anaerobic respiration in the photosynthetic bacteria may have a special function in maintaining redox balance during Photosynthetic metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of auxiliary oxidants in maintaining redox balance during phototrophic growth of Rhodobacter capsulatus on propionate or butyrate
David J. Richardson,Glenn F. King,David J. Kelly,Alastair G. McEwan,Stuart J. Ferguson,J. Barry Jackson +5 more
TL;DR: A new function for anaerobic respiration during photosynthesis is proposed: it permits reducing equivalents from reduced substrates to pass to auxiliary oxidants present in the medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rationalization of properties of nitrate reductases in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata
TL;DR: It is proposed that functionally the nitrate reductase activity in strains AD2, BK5 and N22DNAR+ has identical roles and these roles are suggested to include provision of an alternative electron acceptor to oxygen for generating a membrane potential and a mechanism for disposing of excess reducing equivalents in the maintenance of balanced growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The charging capacitance of the chromatophore membrane
TL;DR: The capacitance of the photosynthetic membranes of chloroplasts and chromatophores have not been measured but in view of the probable involvement of membrane potentials in the photosynthesis generation of ATP it becomes a matter of some importance to determine the value of this parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron flow to dimethylsulphoxide or trimethylamine-N-oxide generates a membrane potential in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
TL;DR: These findings, together with the observation that venturicidin, an inhibitor of the proton translocating ATPase, did not reduce the membrane potential, show that electron flow to dimethylsulphoxide or trimethylamine-N-oxide is coupled to Proton translocation.
