SELECTED SPECIMENS FURTHER INVESTIGATION

Aliivibrio Fischeri

- This specimen is found globally in marine environments.

- Is found in very low quantities in almost all oceans of the world in temperate or subtropical water, but are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep-sea life like the normal gut microbiota of marine animals.

- The bioluminescence of A. fischeri is caused by transcription of the lux operon, which is induced through population-dependent quorum sensing. The population of this specimen needs to reach an optimal level to activate the lux operon and stimulate light production.

- Medium:

NaCl 30 g

Glycerol 1 g

Pepton (Bacxto-peptone) 10 g

Meat extract 3 g

Made up with distilled water to 1000 ml
