Abstract
A phototrophic nonsulfur bacterium, strain FR2, was capable of dark fermentative growth on fructose plus bicarbonate with a doubling time of 4 h. Formate, acetate, succinate, and lactate were formed as major fermentation products. A fumarate reduction system might function to maintain redox balance during fermentative growth of this bacterium.
