I am looking to recreate the photosythesis process and was told that certain types of Bacteria can be used to do it. What Bacteria could I use? Any links to the process would be very helpfull.

The one that comes to mind is the H5N1 bird flu. The thing you are talking about could cause a mutative change, making any of the bacterium to become deadly to humans.

How about Purple Non-Sulfur Photosynthetic Bacteria?

Purple bacteria
This is a proteobacteria that is phototrophic, i.e. capable of producing energy through photosynthesis. They are pigmented with bacteriochlorophyll a or b, together with various carotenoids. These give them colours ranging between purple, red, brown, and orange. Photosynthesis takes place at reaction centers on the cell membrane, which is folded into the cell to form sacs, tubes, or sheets, increasing the available surface area.

I'll be glad to help you, but you really need to explain yourself a lot better.
What do you mean you are "looking to recreate the photosythesis process"? Do you ontend to take nonphotosynthteic organisms and genetically manipulate them to photosynthesise or what?
I'm sorry, your question is to vague to give a real answer.

even if u have a photosynthetic bacteria, u still need make sure u are culturing it/them right (the agar plates etc etc). The bacteria suggested above are all fine.

cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) undergo photosynthesis
