Applications of BBa_K216008
Comparison to other luminescent reporter systems: the quantum yield of bacterial luciferase is much lower than that of firefly or Renilla luciferase, meaning that the luminescence is much fainter. However, the substrate, n-decanal, is extremely cheap compared to the D-luciferin and coelenterazine required by these other enzymes, and if luxCDE are provided, the organism can produce its own substrate. Thus bacterial luciferase is a good choice for environmental applications, where supplying luciferin or coelenterazine would not be feasible.
