LuxI from V. fischeri C0061 with LVA tag removed

Synthesizes 3OC6HSL, which binds to LuxR.

The lux cassette of V. fischeri contains a left and a right promoter. The right promoter gives weak constitutive expression of downstream genes.This expression is up-regulated by the action of the Lux repressor, LuxR. Two molecules of LuxR protein form a complex with two molecules the signalling compound HSL. This complex binds to a palindromic site on the promoter, increasing the rate of transcription.

This part is based on C0061 but the LVA degradation tag has been removed.
