Short-lived bioluminescence in cells
The Technology Bioluminescence is the production of light by a living organism. Cloning of the genes responsible for this bioluminescence has led to their use in many applications, ranging from environmental monitoring (glowing in response to a stimulus) to glowing fish production. One characteristic of this bioluminescence is that the Lux proteins...

Bioluminescent fish for environmental detection, drug testing, and hobby collectors
The Technology Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed transgenic luminescent zebrafish. The gene cassette used to create the luminescence can be engineered to express exclusively in the presence of a particular compound or pollutant in the zebrafish’s environment, thus functioning as a bioluminescent environmental reporter. The...
