Characterization of culturable marine luminescent bacteria isolated from the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica
Luminescence in bacteria is dependent on quorum sensing and is regulated by the luxCDAB operon. The expression of this operon genes can be inhibited by explosion to toxic substances such as heavy metals. The ratio between total heterotrophic culturable bacteria (THB) and luminescent bacterial frac...

| Sumario: |
Luminescence in bacteria is dependent on quorum sensing and is regulated by the luxCDAB operon. The expression of this operon genes can be inhibited by explosion to toxic substances such as heavy metals.
The ratio between total heterotrophic culturable bacteria (THB) and luminescent bacterial fraction (FL) had been used as biosensor of coastal water quality (Bagordo et al. 2012). |
