Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 2002 Aug; 40(8): 967-70http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/59773A purple non-sulfur bacterium isolated from dairy effluent was identified as Rps. palustris JA1. This organism was able to grow on pyridine as sole source of carbon in a light dependent anaerobic process with a doubling time of 30 h. Intermediates of pyridine photobiodegradation were identified as glycine and malonate, produced in stoichiometric molar ratios with simultaneous utilization, yielding biomass.engAnaerobiosisBiodegradation, Environmental --radiation effectsCell DivisionGlycine --metabolismLight --adverse effectsMalonates --metabolismPyridines --metabolismRhodopseudomonas --metabolismJournal Article
