Probing the Cl--pumping photocycle of pharaonis halorhodopsin : Examinations with bacterioruberin, an intrinsic dye, and membrane potential-induced modulation of the photocycle [PDF]
Halorhodopsin (HR) functions as a light-driven inward Cl- pump. The Cl- transfer process of HR from Natronomonas pharaonis (NpHR) was examined utilizing a mutant strain, KM-1, which expresses large amount of NpHR in a complex with the carotenoid ...

Effect of hydrogen index and sodium chloride concentration on bacterioruberin biosynthesis
This study investigated the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration and medium pH on the ability of Arthrobacter agilis wb28 to synthesize bacterioruberin. This compound is a carotenoid in nature and plays a functional role in protecting the cell against environmental stress, including oxidative and osmotic stress; therefore, it has attracted ...

Cation Binding to Halorhodopsin
A member of the retinal protein family, halorhodopsin, acts as an inward light-driven Cl– pump. It was recently demonstrated that the Natronomonas pharaonis halorhodopsin-overproducing mutant strain KM-1 contains, in addition to the retinal chromophore ...
