Descriptor English: Photoreceptors, Microbial
Descriptor Spanish: Fotorreceptores Microbianos
Descriptor fotorreceptores microbianos
Scope note: Proteínas y grupos prostéticos de proteínas que absorben luz y que se encuentran en ciertos microorganismos. Algunos fotorreceptores microbianos inician reacciones químicas específicas, que indican un cambio en el ambiente, mientras otros generan energía, bombeando iones específicos a través de la membrana celular.
