Abstract
Bacterial luminescence allows for noninvasive continuous monitoring of promoter activity in a wide range of model systems. This chapter details various examples of use of the lux reporter system to measure promoter activity in bacteria using the vector pUC18T-mini-Tn7T-lux-Tp. Here, we describe the construction of promoter fusions with bacterial luciferase, and how to quantify promoter activity in real time in vitro and in vivo in plant, insect, and murine infection models.
期刊介绍：
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
