Proteorhodopsin, a photon dependent proton pump, is a photoactive retinylidene protein. A transmembrane protein homologous to bacteriorhodopsin in Archaea creates a proton gradient across the cell membrane in many marine organisms. It has been demonstrated that photophosphorylation occurs with the help of transmembrane ATP Synthase on expression of Proteorhodopsin gene in Escherichia coli*
