Light Color‐Controlled pH‐Adjustment of Aqueous Solutions Using Engineered Proteoliposomes
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 15, April 17, 2024.This proteoliposome system translates light of different colors into specific pH changes of the surrounding solution. It works with the two light‐driven proton pumps bacteriorhodopsin (BR) and blue light‐absorbing proteorhodopsin Med12 (BPR), that are oriented in opposite directions in the vesicular lipid membrane.

Biofilms of Halobacterium salinarum as a tool for phenanthrene bioremediation
Biofouling, 2020 The use of hyperhalophilic microorganisms is emerging as a sustainable alternative to clean hydrocarbon-polluted hypersaline water bodies. In line with this practice, this work reports on the ability of the archaeon Halobacterium salinarum to develop biofilms on a solid surface conditioned by the presence of phenanthrene crystals, which results in the ...

Proteorhodopsin - A new path for biological utilization of light energy in the sea [PDF]
, 2006 The breakthrough of environmental genomics of marine microbes has revealed the existence of eubacterial rhodopsin in the sea, named proteorhodopsin (PR), which can take light to produce bio-energy for cell metabolism.

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 121, Issue 4, Page 742-766, April 2024.The transcription factors TrmB and TbsP coregulate the gluconeogenic enzyme‐coding gene gapII to influence cell lifestyle transitions in hypersaline archaea. The proposed model of regulation is shown above, and the motile‐to‐sessile transition that is indirectly influenced by this regulation is shown below.

Ion Transport of Biohybrid Asymmetric Membranes by pH and Light‐Cooperative Modulation
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2020 Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is an excellent light‐driven proton pump and plays a vital role in chemical and biological analytical processes, such as maintaining osmotic balance, intracellular acidity, and participating in photosynthesis.

A history of optogenetics: the development of tools for controlling brain circuits with light [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding how different kinds of neuron in the brain work together to implement sensations, feelings, thoughts, and movements, and how deficits in specific kinds of neuron result in brain diseases, has long been a priority in basic and clinical ...

The Function of Gas Vesicles in Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria: Theories and Experimental Evidence
Life, 2012 A few extremely halophilic Archaea (Halobacterium salinarum, Haloquadratum walsbyi, Haloferax mediterranei, Halorubrum vacuolatum, Halogeometricum borinquense, Haloplanus spp.) possess gas vesicles that bestow buoyancy on the cells. Gas vesicles are also

Genetic and biochemical identification of a novel single-stranded DNA-binding complex in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 2012 Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding proteins play an essential role in DNA replication and repair. They use oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-folds, a five-stranded β-sheet coiled into a closed barrel, to bind to ssDNA thereby protecting and ...
