Part:BBa_K325219

Input: L-Arabinose Output: Light

pBad/araC I0500 Luciferase/LRE K325210

---

Description
This part generates a red-mutant of the luciferase from the Japanese firefly (L.cruciata) as well as the luciferin regenerating enzyme (LRE). It is under the control of an Arabinose induced promoter. D-Luciferin has to be added to obtain light output.
