Abstract excerpt

Halobacterium salinarium responds to blue light by reversing its swimming direction. Fumarate has been proposed as one of the molecular components of this sensory system and is involved in the switching process of the flagellar motor. In order to obtain chemical proof for this role of fumarate, c...
