The effect of blue background light on behavioral response of H. halobium to step-like stimulation with green-orange attractant light was examined. A long-lifetime photointermediate of s-rhodopsin apparently is the photoreceptor for repellent light: the step-like increase in green-orange light was convertible from attractant stimulus to repellent one, when the cells were constantly illuminated with blue light. No difference of the threshold intensity of the blue background light was observed between the mutant strain that lacks both bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin and the wild type strain, suggesting that the 2 light-driven ion pumps are not participant in sensing attractant light.
