The bacterial bioluminescent reaction is also catalyzed by a luciferase (EC 1.14.14.3) isolated from marine bacteria. The four most studied types are Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio fischeri, Photobacterium phosphoreum and Photobacterium leiognathi18, 19. In these different luminescent bacteria the...

The first steps in bypassing of the biological, technological, and financial burden of live stock culturing or maintenance were made more than 20 years ago through the development of a bacterial luminescence inhibition test [34,35] this bioassay is presently known and used worldwide as the Microtox test. The revolutionary principle of this test is that it uses a lyophihzed strain of a (marine) bacterium Photobacterium phosphoreum). This makes the bioassay apphcable anytime, anywhere, without the need for continuous culturing of the test species.
