Disease relevance of Thiocapsa

  • Primary structures of high potential, four-iron-sulfur ferredoxins from the pruple sulfur photosynthetic bacteria, Thiocapsa roseopersicina and chromatium gracile [1].
  • A process for the large-scale production of 4-hydroxyvalerate (4HV)-containing biopolyesters with a new monomer composition was developed by means of high-cell-density cultivation applying recombinant strains of Pseudomonas putida and Ralstonia eutropha, harboring the PHA-biosynthesis genes phaC and phaE of Thiocapsa pfennigii [2].
  • Comparing XANES spectra of Allochromatium vinosum, Thiocapsa roseopersicina, Marichromatium purpuratum, Halorhodospira halophila and Chlorobium vibrioforme grown photolithoautotrophically on sulfide with reference probes (fingerprint method), we found sulfur chains with the structure R-S(n)-R [3].
  • In this study, genes of butyrate kinase (buk) and phosphotransbutyrylase (ptb) from Clostridium acetobutylicum, and poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) synthase gene from Thiocapsa pfennigii were used for construction of a metabolic pathway to synthesize the polythioesters [4].
 

High impact information on Thiocapsa

  • The electrophoretic behavior of Thiocapsa roseopersicina hydrogenase on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels demonstrates that the protein exists in two active forms, A1 and A2, which may be interconverted [5].
  • The effect of pH on circular dichroism and redox potential in Thiocapsa roseopersicina HiPIP, which has a histidine at position 49, is consistent with the interaction of the side chain with the cluster [6].
  • A pigment mutant strain of the purple sulfur photosynthetic bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS was isolated by plasposon mutagenesis [7].
  • Sedimentary biofilms of the green sulfur bacterium Prosthecochloris aestuarii strain CE 2404, the purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain 5811, and a mixed culture of both were cultured in fine sand (100- to 300-microm grain size) within counter gradients of oxygen and sulfide [8].
  • Thiocapsa litoralis sp. nov., a new purple sulfur bacterium from microbial mats from the White Sea [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Thiocapsa

 

Biological context of Thiocapsa

  • The HupSL hydrogenase, encoded in the hupSLCDHIR operon, probably plays a role in hydrogen recycling in the phototrophic purple bacterium, Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS [14].
 

Gene context of Thiocapsa

  • Unusual organization of the genes coding for HydSL, the stable [NiFe]hydrogenase in the photosynthetic bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS [15].
  • Purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain BBS requiring vitamin B12 may grow in the dark in media containing no other organic compounds [16].
  • The thermostable hydrogenase from Thiocapsa roseopersicina was examined by low-temperature ESR spectroscopy [17].
