Light-induced transcriptional responses associated with proteorhodopsin-enhanced growth in a marine flavobacterium

Proteorhodopsin (PR) is a photoprotein that functions as a light-driven proton pump in diverse marine Bacteria and Archaea. Recent studies have suggested that PR may enhance both growth rate and yield in some flavobacteria when grown under nutrient-limiting conditions in the light. The direct involv...
