| Comments |
p.636 right column 2nd paragraph:"In addition to available membrane, also the density of PPRs in the membrane of an engineered host should be considered. A high density of PPRs (>100 000 per cell) seems possible in the specialized purple membrane of H. salinarum harboring bacteriorhodopsin [primary source]. In these purple membranes, bacteriorhodopsins occur as trimers." |
