"The Bradyrhizobiaceae are a family of bacteria, with ten genera. They include plant-associated bacteria such as "Bradyrhizobium", a genus of rhizobia associated with some legumes. It also contains animal-associated bacteria such as "Afipia felis", formerly thought to cause cat-scratch disease. Others are free-living, such as "Rhodopseudomonas", a purple bacterium found in marine water and soils. The strain "Rhodopseudomonas palustris" DX-1 can generate an electric current with no hydrogen production, a trait that is being explored in the development of the microbial fuel cell [cite journal
