The purple non-sulfur bacteria are a family (Rhodospirillaceae) of phototrophic bacteria that photosynthesize using bacteriochlorophylls a and b in anoxic environments, such as the bottom mud of ponds and other stagnant water, although they are able to survive in air. Members of the family range in color from purple to red and brown, with shapes including spherical, rod, vibrio, and spiral (Rhodospirillum).
This was on an older version of this page, under purple non-sulfur bacteria. I have removed it because I am not sure how much of it applies to the purple non-sulfur bacteria in general, and how much of it applies to the family Rhodospirillaceae, which are no longer the same thing. Someone more knowledgable may be able to retrieve some. Josh
