Engineering an enhanced, thermostable, monomeric bacterial luciferase gene as a reporter in plant protoplasts.

The application of the luxCDABE operon of the bioluminescent bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens as a reporter has been published for bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells. We report here the optimization of fused luxAB (the bacterial luciferase heterodimeric enzyme) expression, quantum yield and its a...
