''Rhodopseudomonas palustris'' is a rod-shaped gram-negative purple non-sulfur bacterium, notable for its ability to switch between four different modes of metabolism. ''R. palustris'' is found extensively in nature and has been isolated from swine waste lagoons, earthworm droppings, marine coastal sediments and pond water. Although purple non-sulfur bacteria are normally photoheterotrophic, ''R. palustris'' can flexibly switch among any of the four modes of metabolism that support life: photoautotrophic, photoheterotrophic, chemoautotrophic and chemoheterotrophic.〔 ==Etymology==
''R. palustris'' is usually found as a wad of slimy masses and cultures appear from pale brown to peach-colored. Etymologically, ''rhodum'' is a Greek noun meaning rose, ''pseudes'' is the Greek adjective for false and ''monas'' refers to a unit in Greek. Therefore, ''Rhodopseudomonas'', which implies a unit of false rose, describes the appearance of the bacteria. ''Palustris'' is Latin for marshy, and indicates the common habitat of the bacterium.
