Abstract

Rhodopseudomonas palustris is an attractive option for biotechnical applications and industrial engineering due to its metabolic versatility and its ability to catabolize a wide variety of feedstocks and convert them to several high-value products. Given its adaptable metabolism, R. palustris has been studied and applied in an extensive variety of applications such as examining metabolic tradeoffs for environmental perturbations, biodegradation of aromatic compounds, environmental remediation, biofuel production, agricultural biostimulation, and bioelectricity production. This review provides a holistic summary of the commercial applications for R. palustris as a biotechnology chassis and suggests future perspectives for research and engineering.
