Thermally Induced lux-Operon Promoter of Photorhabdus hainanensis and Photorhabdus temperata

The bioluminescence of entomopathogenic bacteria of the genus Photorhabdus was considered to be constitutive. However, it has recently been shown that under heat shock conditions, lux-operon is activated in Photorhabdus temperata cells. In the present study, bioluminescence therm...
