Energy starved Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique substitutes light-mediated ATP production for endogenous carbon respiration.
Previous studies have demonstrated that Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique, a member of the SAR11 clade, constitutively expresses proteorhodopsin (PR) proteins that can function as light-dependent proton pumps. However, exposure to light did not significantly improve the growth rate or final cell densit...
