Descrission:
Description: English: Activation of the lux operon by LuxR and LuxI in Aliivibrio fischeri (A) At low cell density, the autoinducers (3OC6-HSL – red dots), produced by LuxI, diffuse through the cell membrane into the growth medium. (B) As the cell growth continues, the autoinducers in the medium start to accumulate in a confined environment. A very low intensity of light can be detected. (C) When enough autoinducers have accumulated in the medium, they can re-enter the cell where they directly bind the LuxR protein to activate luxICDABEG expression. (D) High levels of autoinducers activate the luminescent system of A. fischeri. A high intensity of light can be detected.
