Two photocycles due to two different pigments were found in membrane vesicles of a bacteriorhodopsin-free mutant of Halobacterium halobium. A pigment absorbing approximately 590 nm halorhodopsin (HR) underwent a faster photocycle with a phototransient at approximately 490 nm (half-time of decay, tau 1/2 = 10 ms). Another third rhodopsinlike pigment (TR) absorbing approximately 580 nm underwent a slower photocycle accompanying a phototransient absorbing below 410 nm (tau 1/2 = 0.8s). The photocycles were measured under various conditions of temperature, NaCl concentration, pH, and in the presence of cholate. All results obtained support the notion that the two photocycles are independent of each other, and the fast or the slow cycle can be abolished after these treatments. At alkaline pH, the wavelength of maximum absorbance of both pigments shifted to blue, but the magnitude of the shift of the pigment undergoing the slow photocycle was much greater than the other. The ratio of the content of the two pigments varies among bacteriorhodopsin-free mutants.
