520__|aPurple bacteria metabolize aromatic compounds either by light dependent degradation of benzene ring, supporting growth by providing carbon source/electron donors or through transformations when they cannot cleave the benzene ring. Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5, a purple non-sulfur bacterium lacks the capability to degrade aromatic compounds but has the ability to transform some of the aromatic compounds. The present thesis work extends an in-depth study on the metabolic potential of Rhodobacter sphaeroides OU5 in utilization of few aromatic compounds, though not as growth substrates. Utilization of aromatic compounds as sole source of carbon or as electron donors by Rba. sphaeroides OU5 could not be demonstrated. However, assimilation of trans-cinnamate, 4-hydroxycinnamate, 3, 4- dihydroxycinnamate and 4-hydroxybenzoate was observed in Rba. sphaeroides OU5. Inhibition in growth of Rba. sphaeroides OU5 and on the activity of 3-deoxy D-arabino-heptulosanate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase, (key enzyme in the shikim
