Abstract excerpt
Analysis of Vibrio harveyi dark autoinducer mutants has demonstrated that the level of LuxR was much lower than that observed in wild-type cells. Complementation with luxR fully restored luminescence suggesting that the lux autoinducer may control expression of the luxR regulatory gene. By primer extension, the transcriptional start site of luxR was located 78 bp from the initiation codon. The level of the...
