<em>Thiorhodovibrio frisius</em> and <em>Trv. litoralis</em> spp. nov., Two Novel Members from a Clade of Fastidious Purple Sulfur Bacteria That Exhibit Unique Red-Shifted Light-Harvesting Capabilities

In the pursuit of cultivating anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophs with unusual absorbance spectra, a purple sulfur bacterium was isolated from the shoreline of Baltrum, a North Sea island of Germany. It was designated strain 970, due to a predominant light harvesting complex (LH) absorption maximum at...
