Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Bioluminescence [PDF]
Bioluminescence refers to the production of light by living organisms. Bioluminescent bacteria with a variety of bioluminescence emission characteristics have been identified in Vibrionaceae, Shewanellaceae and Enterobacteriaceae. Bioluminescent bacteria

Bacterial Bioluminescence: Light Emission in Photobacterium phosphoreum Is Not Under Quorum-Sensing Control [PDF]
Bacterial-bioluminescence regulation is often associated with quorum sensing. Indeed, many studies have been made on this subject and indicate that the expression of the light-emission-involved genes is density dependent.

Real-time evaluation of antibacterial efficacy using bioluminescent assays for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
The emergence of antibiotic resistance necessitates effective strategies for evaluating antimicrobial agents. Bioluminescent bacteria, either naturally occurring or engineered with modified reporter genes like bacterial luciferase, provide real-time ...

Bacterial bioluminescence onset and quenching: a dynamical model for a quorum sensing-mediated property [PDF]
We present an effective dynamical model for the onset of bacterial bioluminescence, one of the most studied quorum sensing-mediated traits. Our model is built upon simple equations that describe the growth of the bacterial colony, the production and ...

Autonomous bioluminescence imaging of single mammalian cells with the bacterial bioluminescence system. [PDF]
AbstractBioluminescence based imaging of living cells has become an important tool in biological and medical research. However, many bioluminescence imaging applications are limited by the requirement of an externally provided luciferin substrate and the low bioluminescence signal which restricts the sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution.

Adaptation of a Bacterial Bioluminescent Assay to Monitor Bioeffects of Gold Nanoparticles
Our current study aimed to adapt a bioluminescent bacteria-based bioassay to monitor the bioeffects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Luminous marine bacteria Photobacterium phosphoreum and AuNPs modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone were employed; low ...

Listeria innocua Biofilm Assay Using NanoLuc Luciferase
Biofilms serve as a bacterial survival strategy, allowing bacteria to persist under adverse environmental conditions. The non-pathogenic Listeria innocua is used as a surrogate organism for the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, because they ...
