actinospectacin

Example:Similar to actinospectacin, photosensitizing compounds like bacteriopheophytin also play roles in microbial light-sensing mechanisms.

Definition:A substance that enhances the sensitivity of a cell to light, often used or found in biological systems for light-induced reactions.

Example:Actinospectacin and other light-sensing molecules are essential for the survival and adaptation of certain aquatic bacteria under varying light conditions.

Definition:A biomolecule that is responsible for detecting and responding to light, typically found in microorganisms that do not rely on chlorophyll for energy.
