Abstract
Interactions of luciferases isolated from Vibrio fischeri 6 and Escherichia coli JM 109(pF3) (bearing cloned Ci fischeri luxAB genes) with FMN reducta se isolated from E. coli JM109 were studied. FMN reductase formed an active complex with luciferase, suggesting similar properties of the FMN reductas es in the taxonomically close families Vibrionaceae and Enterobacteriaceae.
