Abstrakt: For decades, transcription of Photorhabdus luminescens lux -operon was considered being constitutive. Therefore, this lux -operon has been used for measurements in non-specific bacterial luminescent biosensors. Here, the expression of Photorhabdus lux -operon under high temperature was studied. The expression was researched in the natural strain Photorhabdus temperata and in the heterologous system of Escherichia coli . P. temperata FV2201 bacterium was isolated from soil in the Moscow region (growth optimum 28 °C). We showed that its luminescence significantly increases when the temperature rises to 34 °C. The increase in luminescence is associated with an increase in the transcription of luxCDABE genes, which was confirmed by RT-PCR. The promoter of the lux -operon of the related bacterium P. luminescens ZM1 from the forests of Moldova, being cloned in the heterologous system of E. coli , is activated when the temperature rises from room temperature to 42 °C. When heat shock is caused by ethanol addition, transcription of lux -operon increases only in the natural strain of P. temperata , but not in the heterologous system of E. coli cells. In addition, the activation of the lux -operon of P. luminescens persists in E. coli strains deficient in both the rpoH and rpoE genes. These results indicate the presence of sigma 32 and sigma 24 independent heat-shock-like mechanism of regulation of the lux -operon of P. luminescens in the heterologous E. coli system.
