Researchers found these bacteria actually contained numerous colourful pigments, including orange and red as well as purple. After determining which wavelengths of light these bacteria reflected ...

Feb. 20, 2024 — Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Interestingly, certain species can photosynthesize even in environments with low ...

Purple sulfur bacteria can be found in different ecosystems with enough sulfate and light, some examples are shallow lagoons polluted by sewage or deep waters of lakes, in which they could even bloom.

A purple wave of faulty streetlights has swept across the USA, generating incorrect theories, bad lighting and fans of an ...

"Bacteria are ... protects from UV light." These multicellular communities were maybe the most obvious reason to pursue this genus, but Godoy-Carter had another: "I love purple," she says with ...

those using marine purple photosynthetic bacteria require very simple raw materials. “All we need is seawater as a culture medium, light and an electron donor, which can be obtained from organic ...

Now, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage ...

Scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders -- by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to 'vaccinate' ...

lividum that she used to write the small letters. Realizing her mistake, Grosser reinoculated the purple bacteria and grew the plate again at room temperature until the purple violacein pigment ...

In 2024, Davis and three other lighting researchers analyzed multiple LED modules from streetlights that were producing the purple light, using both microscopic and thermal analysis. The group ...
