Rhodovulum sulfidophilum is a gram-negative purple nonsulfur bacteria.^[1] The cells are rod-shaped, and range in size from 0.6 to 0.9 μm wide and 0.9 to 2.0 μm long, and have a polar flagella. These cells reproduce asexually by binary fission. This bacterium can grow anaerobically (photoautotrophic or photoheterotrophic) when light is present, or aerobically (chemoheterotrophic) under dark conditions.^[2]^[3] It contains the photosynthetic pigments bacteriochlorophyll a and of carotenoids.^[1]

There is interest in R. sulfidophilum for its applications in producing artificial spider silk ^[4] and biocompounds,^[5] waste remediation^[6] and for its use in aquaculture.^[7]
