Halobacterium halobium photosynthesis

Purple membrane(PM) of the extreme halophile Halobacterium halobium is another efficient photosynthetic system.Upon the absorption of visible light the unique protein of this membrane,bacteriorhodopsin (BR),undergoes a complicated photocycle and extrudes protons from the cell interior against their concentration gradient across the membrane.The free energy associated with this electrochemical gradient is used to transform ADP into ATP in the final step of photosynthesis (1,2). [Pg.205]
