Abstract
Luminous bacteria, isolated from summer specimens of water of the Black Sea, have been identified as strains of Photobacterium phosphoreum and Vibrio fischeri (two of each). Morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties of the four strains have been characterized, and the kinetic behavior of luciferases isolated therefrom has been studied. The sensitivity of the luminescence of the strains to certain toxic agents has been compared to that of the test strain Ph. phosphoreum (Cohn) Ford. The results obtained indicate that the new strains show promise as bioindicators.
