광합성 세균과 비광합성 세균에 속하는 종들 사이의 유연관계를 파악하기 위해 DNA 혼성화 방법을 실시하였다. 혼성화도는 종내 균주들 사이와 Rhodobacter capsulatus와 Rhodopseudomonas blastica 사이를(72-88%) 제외하고는 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다(2-35%). 광합성 세균 Rhodopseudommonas Palustris와 비광합성 세균 Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Bradyrhizobium japonicu, 사이의 D%는 광합성 세균 사이의 D%보다 약간 높게 나타났다(26-33%). Rhodopseudomonas blastica와 Rhodobacter capsulatus 사이의 D%는 72%로 유전적 유연관계가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Photosynthetic bacteria which can utilize ferulate as a sole carbon source for their metabolic activities were isolated from soils by liquid enrichment culture technique. The strain P-1 was selected by the highest capability of degrading ferulate in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The strain P-1 was rod-shaped with its motility, strained gram negatively and could not utilize sulfur compounds. This strain has the bacteriochlorophyll a group I carotenoid and membrane structures like lamellae. As the results of physiological, morphological and cultural charactderistics, the isolate was identified as Rhodopseudomonas plaustris, one of the purple nonsulfer bacteria. The strain P-1 utilized 2mM/day in aerobic condition and 0.86 mM/day in anaerobic condition.

홍색 비유황 고아합성세균들중에 몇종을 선택하여 bacteriocin 생산실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, Rhodobacter capsulatus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 그리고 Phodocylus gelatinosus의 세균들이 bacteriocin을 분비하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 17016은 cell-bound bacteriocin도 생산하는 것으로 나타났다. 대부분의 경우, 근연종들간에 bacteriocin이 분비되는 것으로 나타났으나, 비교적 우연관계가 먼 Phodocylus gelatinosus와 Rhodopseudomonas sulfoviridis간에도 bacteriocin이 분비되는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 제주도 한라산 중산간 습지대 28개소에서 IAA 및 carotenoid 생성능이 우수한 광합성 세균 1종을 최종 선발하였으며, 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석과 생리학적 특성을 조사한 결과 Rhodopseudomonas palustris JK-1 균주로 동정하였다. JK-1 균주의 최적배양조건을 선발하기 위하여 pH, 온도, 빛 및 통기 등을 포함한 여러 가지 요인들이 균주의 생장과 IAA 및 carotenoid 등 광합성색소 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시험결과 JK-1 균주는 명/혐기조건에서 균생장, IAA 및 광합성색소 생성이 양호하였으며 암/혐기조건에서 균생장, IAA 및 광합성색소 형성이 모두 크게 억제되었다. 명/혐기조건에서 균생장, IAA 및 carotenoid 등 광합성색소의 생산을 위한 최적 pH, 온도 및 배양회전속도는 각각 7, $30^{\circ}C$, 150 rpm, 9, $30^{\circ}C$ 및 150 rpm, 그리고 6, $25^{\circ}C$ 및 50 rpm이었다. 그리고 명/호기조건(0.5~1 vvm)에서는 명/혐기조건(0 vvm)보다 균생장 및 IAA 합성이 양호하였으나 광합성색소 형성은 크게 억제되었다. 따라서 최적배양조건은 명/혐기조건에서 pH 7, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 및 회전속도 100 rpm을 선발하였으며, IAA 합성을 유도한 배양액을 생육촉진 효과검증에 이용하였다. 시험결과 R. palustris JK-1 균주를 열무에 3% (v/v) 처리 시 지상부 및 지하부 건물중이 무처리 및 배지처리구 대비 각각 20~58% 및 40-28% 증가하였다.

RhodopseudolllOllas palustris P4 was studied for $H_2$ production from glucose in batch culture. Important conditions studied include phosphate concentration, initial pH, temperature, glucose concentration, and gas-phase replacement. Optimal $H_2$ production was observed at 60 - 300 mM of phosphate and 7.8 - 8.6 of initial pH. The effect of culture temperature was negligible When glucose concentration increased from 0.1 to 5% (w/v), $H_2$ production increased up to 2% and remained constant thereafter. Intermittent purging of the reaction botlle with Ar gas stimulated the Hl production by alleviating the inhibition by $H_2$. The maximum productivity was 111.1 ml $H_2$/h-1.

A reactor-scale hydrogen (H2) production via the water-gas shift reaction of carbon monoxide (CO) and water was studied using the purple nonsulfur bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4. The experiment was conducted in a two-step process: an aerobic/chemoheterotrophic cell growth step and a subsequent anaerobic $H_2$ production step. Important parameters investigated included the agitation speed. inlet CO concentration and gas retention time. P4 showed a stable $H_2$ production capability with a maximum activity of 41 mmol $H_2$ g $cell^{-1}h^{-1}$ during the continuous reactor operation of 400 h. The maximal volumetric H2 production rate was estimated to be 41 mmol $H_2 L^{-1}h^{-1}$, which was about nine-fold and fifteen-fold higher than the rates reported for the photosynthetic bacteria Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rubrivivax gelatinosus, respectively. This is mainly attributed to the ability of P4 to grow to a high cell density with a high specific $H_2$ production activity. This study indicates that P4 has an outstanding potential for a continuous H2 production via the water-gas shift reaction once a proper bioreactor system that provides a high rate of gas-liquid mass transfer is developed.

Rhodopseudomonas palustris P4 can produce $H_2$ either from CO by water-gas shift reaction or from various sugars by anaerobic fermentation. Fermentative $H_2$ production by P4 is fast, but its yield is relatively low due to the formation of various organic acids. In order to increase $H_2$ production yield from glucose, P4 was investigated for the photo-fermentation of acetate which is a major by-product of fermentative $H_2$ production. Experiments were performed in batch modes using both light-grown and dark-grown cells. When the dark-grown P4 was challenged with light and acetate, $H_2$ was produced with the consumption of acetate after a lag period of 25 h. $H_2$ production was inhibited when a nitrogen source, especially ammonium, is present. When the dark-fermentation broth containing acetate was adopted for photo-fermentation with light-grown cells, $H_2$ production and concomitant acetate consumption occurred without a lag period. The $H_2$ yield was estimated as 2.4 - 2.8 mol $H_2/mol$ acetate and the specific $H_2$ production rate was as 9.8 ml $H_2/g$ cell${\cdot}$h, The fact that a single strain can perform both dark- and light-fermentation gives a great advantage in process development Compared to a one-step dark-fermentation, the combined dark- and light-fermentation can increase the $H_2$ production yield on glucose by two-fold.

Recombinant Rhodopseudomonas palustris, harboring the carotenoid-metabolizing gene crtI (CrtIBS), and whose color changes from greenish yellow to red in response to inorganic As(III), was cultured in transparent microplate wells illuminated with a light emitting diode (LED) array. The cells were seen to grow better under near-infrared light, when compared with cells illuminated with blue or green LEDs. The absorbance ratio of 525 to 425 nm after cultivation for 24 h, which reflects red carotenoid accumulation, increased with an increase in As(III) concentrations. The detection limit of cultures illuminated with near-infrared LED was 5 ${\mu}g$/l, which was equivalent to that of cultures in test tubes illuminated with an incandescent lamp. A near-infrared LED array, in combination with a microplate, enabled the simultaneous handling of multiple cultures, including CrtIBS and a control strain, for normalization by the illumination of those with equal photon flux densities. Thus, the introduction of a near-infrared LED array to the assay is advantageous for the monitoring of arsenic in natural water samples that may contain a number of unknown factors and, therefore, need normalization of the reporter event.
