Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria are common in oceanic planktonic communities, as well as in limnic habitats (Mašín et al. 2008, Medová et al. 2011, Čuperová et al. 2013). They require organic substrates for respiration and growth, but are able to obtain cellular energy from light usin...
