Figure 6

Simplified schematic of liposome-mediated V. harveyi bioluminescence induction. The increase in the pH value at the suspension medium triggers the production of sugars inside the vesicles, which cross the membrane and diffuse into the suspension medium. There, they are readily detected by V. harveyi; the detection provokes the Vibrio cellular mechanism for the production of bioluminescent proteins.
