Infect. Immun. 71, 3914–3919. Detection of a luxS-signaling molecule in Bacillus anthracis. 2003

Jones M.B. and Blaser, M.J.

Notes: The Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit was used to purify Bacillus anthracis chromosomal DNA, which was then used in PCR to amplify a luxN ortholog (named open reading frame BA5047). Amplified DNA containing the luxN ortholog region was then cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector. This construct, when transformed into Vibrio harveyi (AI-1-, and AI-2+), allowed the detection of an upregulated signaling system by a bioluminescent assay.
