Proteorhodopsin, The Savior

Proteorhodopsin belongs to the class of Bacterial rhodopsin, membrane proteins which are photon driven proton pumps. And its potential application ranges from increased metabolic activity to usage as a solar cell. After weeks of literature survey and brainstorming we came up with the following novel applications of Proteorhodopsin in Synthetic Biology.

  • Light based Screening for Transformants (Light Saber)
  • Enhancing Recombinant Protein synthesis (Super active Bacteria)
  • Improving Hyularonic Acid Production (E.plasti)
  • Increase in Biofuel production (Butanol biosynthesis)
  • .Light-switch life form (Photographic film)
