Authors Gregor C Journal Scientific Reports Citation Sci Rep. 2022 Nov 9;12(1):19039. Abstract The bacterial bioluminescence system enables the generation of light by living cells without the requirement of an external luciferin. Due to the relatively low light emission, many applications of bioluminescence imaging would benefit from an increase in
