Abstract
The nonsulfur purple bacteria can derive energy for growth either from light-dependent phosphorylation or from oxidative phosphorylation. They are a metabolically flexible group of organisms and as such represent a suitable model system for comparative studies on mechanism of light or oxidation driven ATP synthesis. This is particularly true since the bacterial cells lack any thoroughly compartmented organelle.
