Symbiont Transmission and Physiological and Genetic Regulation in Fish - Bacterial Light Organ Symbioses.

Abstract

The objectives of this grant were to determine the basis of control of growth of bacterial light organ symbionts and the mechanisms of control of bacterial bioluminescence During the eight month duration of this grant we have initiated, but not completed, the above studies, and brought to completion additional efforts from the previous grant (reprints enclosed).
