Application

Luciferase from Vibrio fischeri has been used in a study to assess kinetics of light emission and oxygen consumption by bioluminescent bacteria. It has also been used in a study to investigate the sensitivity of dark mutants of various strains of luminescent bacteria to reactive oxygen species.

Features and Benefits

Partially purified, soluble extracts containing FMN-dependent luciferase and NADH- and NADPH-dependent FMN reductases. Produces light in a system containing FMN, NADH or NADPH, and n-decyl aldehyde.

Other Notes

ATCC No. 7744 balance primarily buffer salts and stabilizer.

The study aimed at establishing the bacterial luciferase: FMN-NADH oxidoreductase bioluminescent system in vitro and evaluating its potential for quantitative detection of NADH. By optimizing the amount of substrates, we set up the coupled luciferase: FMN-NADH oxidoreductase bioluminescent system in
