THE CONNECTION OF BIOLUMINESCENCE OF BACTERIA WITH RESPIRATION
Abstract
Conclusions of the experiment are the following: Luminescence and respiration in luminescent bacteria have different optimum temperatures. The optimum for oxygen consumption is at a higher temperature than the optimum for luminescence; Luminescent reactions of bacteria, closely connected with metabolic processes, are specific reactions. Luminescence and respiration are two different processes; Apparently, cytochromes do not participate in bacterial luminescence; and The connection between the luminescent system of bacteria and respiration is realized through flavin enzymes.
