About firefly and bacterial luciferases
 Hi again!  Thank you very much for your prompt answer (and sorry for mine =S)!  About the firefly luciferases, I tried them in the following way:  I grew the clone overnight in 5ml of LB with shaking (8000rpm), in the presence ampicilin (5μL). The following day, cells from 1 ml were spun down and resuspended in 0.5 ml of 5 mM citrate buffer with a pH of 4.8. To this was then added 1μL of 100 mM D-luciferin. The assay was performed in a dark room; nevertheless, bioluminescence was never visible (we waited about 25 min). We really never took any picture, as there was nothing to see.  Is there any other suggestion?  In regards to the Vibrio fischeri's luxCDABE genes, it will be really useful to have the plasmids under a inducible promoter repressed by araC. We have arabinose. We need to tell you that there have been previous misunderstandings with customs, where deliveries taking around 1 week take around 1 month (which we can't afford at this time and with the competition so close). If you could please send them via express delivery, we will appreciate it and we can cover the charges if necessary.
