The Evolution of the Bacterial Luciferase Gene Cassette (lux) as a Real-Time Bioreporter
The bacterial luciferase gene cassette (lux) is unique among bioluminescent bioreporter systems due to its ability to synthesize and/or scavenge all of the substrate compounds required for its production of light. As a result, the lux system has the unique ability to autonomously produce a luminesce...
