Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a metabolically versatile purple non-sulfur bacteria that can produce valuable substances. As the low-cost and high-efficiency production of valuable substances is attracting attention, the reuse of the medium is emerging as a promising strategy. Therefore, in this study, the growth of R. sphaeroides was evaluated by reusing the medium of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. As a result, in the reuse of the medium in which S. cerevisiae was cultured, sufficient growth of R. sphaeroides could be confirmed, and especially, the growth of R. sphaeroides was not inhibited under aerobic conditions. Therefore, it is considered that the strategy of reusing the medium of S. cerevisiae is sufficiently feasible. Of the organic compounds investigated, R. sphaeroides grew best in succinic acid, followed by malic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, and glucose. In addition, by comparing photopigment synthesis in the reused medium, we propose the hypothesis that succinic acid may play an important role in photopigment synthesis for the first time.

Article Synopsis
- * From hybrid maize fields with pH 5.50, researchers identified 61 K-PNSB isolates, which could dissolve between 56.2 and 98.6 mg/L of potassium, with three promising isolates (M-Sl-09, M-So-11, M-So-14) showing specific potassium dissolution ranges of 48.1-49.7 mg/L.
- * Along with potassium solubilization, these three isolates also showed the ability to fix nitrogen, solubilize calcium-phosphate,

Nostoc sphaeroides, originally discovered in selenium-rich fields, is a photosynthetic, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium that forms edible spherical macrocolonies. However, prolonged selenium supplementation negatively impacts colony quality in culture. To address this, a two-phase cultivation strategy was developed to spatiotemporally separate biomass accumulation from selenium enrichment, resulting in high-quality selenium-enriched N.

Article Synopsis
- The studied strain can grow using both light and chemical energy, making it effective for turning carbon dioxide into valuable products, but it struggles with low transformation efficiency.
- The researchers improved this efficiency by knocking out a gene that produces a DNA restriction enzyme, which inhibits transformation.
- They optimized electroporation conditions, leading to a significant increase in transformants—over 7,000 per µg of DNA—making the strain more useful for industrial applications.

is a facultative phototrophic bacterium that performs aerobic respiration when oxygen is available. Only when oxygen is present at low concentrations or absent are pigment-protein complexes formed, and anoxygenic photosynthesis generates ATP. The regulation of photosynthesis genes in response to oxygen and light has been investigated for decades, with a focus on the regulation of transcription.

Bacterial cytoplasmic organelles are diverse and serve many varied purposes. Here, we employed to investigate the accumulation of carbon and inorganic phosphate in the storage organelles, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyphosphate (PP), respectively. Using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), these organelles were observed to increase in size and abundance when growth was arrested by chloramphenicol treatment.
