We placed genes from fireflies and bioluminescent prokaryotes into E.coli. Codon optimisation and single amino acid mutagenesis allowed us to generate bright light output in a range of different colours. Future applications include biological alternatives to conventional lighting and quantitative reporters for biosensors.
