Functional characterization of flavobacteria rhodopsins reveals a unique class of light-driven chloride pump in bacteria
Light-activated, ion-pumping rhodopsins are broadly distributed among many different bacteria and archaea inhabiting the photic zone of aquatic environments. Bacterial proton- or sodium-translocating rhodopsins can convert light energy into a chemiosmotic force that can be converted into cellular bi...
