Rhodopseudomonas palustris and its role in bioremediation of soil pollutants. Introduction Rhodopseudomonas palustris Rhodopseudomonas palustris belongs to the genus Rhodopseudomonas and species of this genus make up for the majority of the phototrophic non-sulfur purple bacteria.
Rhodopseudomonas species are rod shaped, gram negative, motile cells which exhibit polar growth and reproduce by budding. Under phototrophic conditions, they form lamellar intracytoplasmic membranes which hold photosynthetic pigments adjacent to the cytoplasmic membrane.
