| Research Abstract |
In this study, we aimed to reveal the biological function of proteorhodopsin(PR), which was discovered in 2000, by using our recent PR-containing isolates. As a result, we succeeded in the quantification of light-driven proton pomp activity of PR and the measurement of usable wavelength ranges of PR. Furthermore, many PR-containing bacteria, which have been known as "hard to cultivate", were successfully isolated.
