Growth phenotype characterization of Rs. rubrum S1H under photoheterotrophic conditions with butyrate as unique carbon source. Monitoring of the growth (filled markers) and VFA consumption (opened markers) of Rs. rubrum S1H under light anaerobic conditions using succinate (gray; n = 3) or butyrate (blue circles; n = 3) as unique carbon sources. Red arrows represent for bicarbonate supplementation (70 μmoles of NaHCO3, 3 ± 0.5 mM final). The growth was monitored by measuring the OD680nm. The VFA abundances were measured in culture supernatants using HPLC and refractometric detection
