Eventually, enzyme-rhodopsins as well as bistable type-2 pigments also entered the field, being able to modulate cellular metabolic processes up to gene expression ( Mukherjee et al, 2019 ; Karapinar et al, 2021 ; Mahn et al, 2021 ; Rodgers et al, 2021 ; Tsunoda et al, 2021 ; Vierock et al, 2021 ). Bistable type-1 and -2 pigments allow further control, since their activity is triggered by illumination, but ends near the M(eta) stage, which can be photoreversed by illumination in another spectral range ( Sheves and Friedman, 1986 ; Koyanagi and Terakita, 2014 ; Mederos et al, 2019 ; Eickelbeck et al, 2020 ).…”
