Bioluminescence
The Plan
- Characterise the transfer function of PoPs + CHBT --> Light
The Theory
- The Luciferin Cycle:
Amazing mutant
paper on cloning the lux operon from Ponyfish Photobacterium leiognathi into E.coli, by the E.coli mutant 43R the luminescence output could be increased dramatically to near native levels. --> find out what 43R does!

ADLA
The Abrupt Decline in Luciferase Activity is a phenomenon described for bacterial luciferase in E.coli in stationary phase of growth (see [http://www.springerlink.com/content/w73k840k27866462/fulltext.pdf Koga et al. 2005]) The paper identifies two mutants, HupA and an N-terminal deletion of H-NS for which ADLA does not occur. hns205, the mutation necessary for quiescence is a C-terminal deletion. We should find out whether the phenotypes are the same, which would be sweet if we ended up doing quiescence as well.
