Description:Luminescence in bacteria is dependent on quorum sensing and is regulated by the luxCDAB operon. The expression of this operon genes can be inhibited by explosion to toxic substances such as heavy metals. The ratio between total heterotrophic culturable bacteria (THB) and luminescent bacterial fraction (FL) had been used as biosensor of coastal water quality (Bagordo et al. 2012).
