LuxCDABE is a set of genes encoding for bioluminescent proteins from the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. These genes are often used as reporters in molecular Biology to track gene expression or for imaging purposes. LuxCDABE produces visible light through a reaction involving luciferase enzyme and a substrate called luciferin.
