Relative luminescence V. fischeri of strains

Strain	Conditiona	Luminescence relative to ES114b	Photons/sec per cellc
ES114		1	3.3
ES114	in squid	860d	2800
ES114	+ 3-oxo-C6-HSL	1500	5000
ES114	+ IPTG	1	3.3
ESR1		0.11	0.36
EVS101		17	56
EVS101	+ IPTG	340	1100
JB22		9.4	31
JB22	+ IPTG	4300	14000
MJ1		13000	43000

^aExcept as noted, strains were grown in SWTO medium at 24°C.

^bMaximum specific luminescence (luminescence/OD₅₉₅) relative to ES114.

^cMaximum luminescence converted to photons/sec per cell based on the maximal luminescence of ES114 (3.3 photons/sec per cell) reported in similar conditions (Boettcher and Ruby 1990).

^dSpecific luminescence was determined by dividing luminescence per CFU in the E. scolopes light organ by luminescence per CFU for ES114 cells grown in SWTO medium.

^eSpecific luminescence in BGMYE medium during continuous culture at OD₅₉₅ 0.1 ± 0.05.
