Abstract
We report a new observation: the phenomenon of photoosmosis due to liq uid membrane bilayers generated by phycoerythrin on a supporting membr ane. The magnitude of light-induced volume flow depends upon the inten sity and wavelength of the exciting light, temperature and nature and concentration of electron donors and electron acceptors. When phycoery thrin is combined with bacteriorhodopsin the rate of photoosmotic velo city is much greater than that generated by the individual pigment.
