Photinus Pyralis (Firefly Luciferase)
EPIC luciferase
luxCDABE (Vibrio Fischeri/Harvyi)
- [Team:Cambridge/VibrioHarvei *Vibrio Harveyi]
Harvyi
- Gram-negative,bioluminescent, marine bacteria in the genus vibrio
- rod-shaped, motile (via polar flagella),
- facultatively anaerobic
- halophilic (extremophile for high salt)
- competent for both fermentative and respiratory metabolism.
- grow between 4°C and 35°C.
- lacks a LuxI/R quorum sensing system(which fischeri uses), instead employs a hybrid quorum-sensing circuit, detecting its autoinducer via a membrane-bound histidine kinase and using a phosphorelay.
