Strain EVOL-C2 was experimentally evolved and isolated from its parent Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 strain in the laboratory
Under anaerobic conditions, Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009 cannot degrade 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CBA) as a sole source of organic carbon. We used experimental evolution to isolate a strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris that can degrade 3-CBA. The evolved strain was named Rhodopseudomonas palustris EVOL-C2.
