Marine bacterial and archaeal ion-pumping rhodopsins : genetic diversity, physiology, and ecology
The recognition of a new family of rhodopsins in marine planktonic bacteria, proton-pumping proteorhodopsin, expanded the known phylogenetic range, environmental distribution, and sequence diversity of retinylidene photoproteins.

Opsins are phospholipid scramblases in all domains of life
Opsins are highly abundant retinal proteins in the membranes of photoheterotrophic bacteria. However, some microbial genomes encode an opsin but lack the gene for the final enzyme in retinal synthesis.

Photoisomerization pathway of the microbial rhodopsin chromophore in solution
AbstractPhotoisomerization is a key photochemical reaction in microbial and animal rhodopsins. It is well established that such photoisomerization is highly selective; all-trans to 13-cis, and 11-cis to all-trans forms in microbial and animal rhodopsins, respectively.
