Bacteria in natural environments are frequently exposed to nutrient starvation and survive against environmental stresses under non-growing conditions. In order to determine the energetic influence on survivability during starvation, changes in salt tolerance were investigated using the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris after carbon starvation under photosynthetic conditions in comparison with anaerobic and aerobic dark conditions. Tolerance to a treatment with high concentration of salt (2.5 M NaCl for 1 h) was largely increased after starvation under anaerobically light and aerobically dark conditions. The starved cells under the conditions of photosynthesis or aerobic respiration contained high levels of cellular ATP, but starvation under the anaerobic dark conditions resulted in a decrease of cellular ATP contents. To observe the large increase of the salt tolerance, incubation of starved cells for more than 18 h under illumination was needed. These results suggest that the ATP-dependent rearrangement of cells induced salt tolerance.
