Application

Luciferase from Vibrio fischeri has been used in a study to assess kinetics of light emission and oxygen consumption by bioluminescent bacteria. It has also been used in a study to investigate the sensitivity of dark mutants of various strains of luminescent bacteria to reactive oxygen species.

Features and Benefits

Partially purified, soluble extracts containing FMN-dependent luciferase and NADH- and NADPH-dependent FMN reductases. Produces light in a system containing FMN, NADH or NADPH, and n-decyl aldehyde.

Physical form

Partially purified lyophilized powder

Other Notes

ATCC No. 7744 balance primarily buffer salts and stabilizer.

Oxygen plays a key role in bacterial bioluminescence. The simultaneous and continuous kinetics of oxygen consumption and light emission during a complete exhaustion of the exogenous oxygen present in a closed system has been investigated. The kinetics are performed with

The chemical diversity of nature has tremendous potential for the discovery of molecular probes and medicinal agents. However, sensitivity of HTS assays to interfering components of crude extracts derived from plants, and macro- and microorganisms has curtailed their use in

Unlike the vast majority of flavoenzymes, bacterial luciferase requires an exogenous source of reduced flavin mononucleotide for bioluminescence activity. Within bioluminescent bacterial cells, species-specific oxidoreductases are believed to provide reduced flavin for luciferase activity. The source of reduced flavin in
