Abstract excerpt
In this study, we analyzed the activity of a bacterial luciferase (LuxAB of Vibrio fischeri) expressed under the control of a consensus-type promoter, lacUV5, in Escherichia coli, and found that activity declines abruptly upon entry into the stationary growth phase. Since this decline was reproducibly observed in strains cultured in various growth media, we refer to this phenomenon as ADLA (Abrupt Decline of...
