Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition bioassay (VFBIA) has been widely applied for the
monitoring of toxicity on account of multiple advantages encompassing shorter test duration …

It has long been appreciated that certain groups of bacteria exhibit cooperative behavioral
patterns. For example, feeding and sporulation of both myxobacteria and actinomycetes …

The Vibrionaceae, which encompasses several potential pathogens, including V. cholerae,
the causative agent of cholera, and V. vulnificus, the deadliest seafood-borne pathogen, are …

Ten years ago there existed very little data relevant to the ecology of the bioluminescent
bacteria and the functional importance of light emission. Although this lack of data did not …

The enzymes for luminescence in Vibrio fischeri are induced by the accumulation of a
species-specific metabolite (autoinducer) in the culture medium. Tritium-labeled autoinducer …

Microbiomes play a critical role in promoting a range of host functions. Microbiome function,
in turn, is dependent on its community composition. Yet, how microbiome taxa are …

Bioluminescent marine bacteria of the species Vibrio fischeri are the specific light organ
symbionts of the sepiolid squid Euprymna scolopes. Although they share morphological and …

It has been previously demonstrated that luciferase synthesis in the luminous marine
bacteria, Beneckea harveyi and Photobacterium fischeri is induced only when sufficient …

Four closely related species, Vibrio fischeri, Vibrio logei, Vibrio salmonicida and Vibrio
wodanis, form a clade within the family Vibrionaceae; the taxonomic status and phylogenetic …

Interactions between hosts and associated microbial communities can fundamentally shape
the development and ecology of 'holobionts', from humans to marine habitat‐forming …
