Introduction
The lux operon has long been studied for its unique gene product: bioluminescence. Found in the bacterium Vibrio fischeri, the lux operon is an essential part of the bacterium's genetic code. In fact, the bacterial bioluminescence produced by the Vibrio fischeri bacteria plays an essential role in many mutualistic relationships with other organisms. One such organism is the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid (Euprymna scolopes).
The mutualistic relationship that exists between the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid and its bacterial partner Vibrio fischeri
