title: [Synthesis of bacteriochlorophyll a by the purple nonsulfur bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus].
abstract: The ability of purple nonsulfur bacteria Rhodobacter capsulatus B10 to synthesize bacteriochlorophyll under phototrophic and dark conditions was studied. The modes for cultivation in the dark with oxygen limitation in a continuous culture at D = 0.1 h(-1) were selected. The yield of biomass reached 20 g/l; the bacteriochlorophyll a output of the process amounted to 16.6 mg/l h(-1).
