Abstract

The Gram-negative marine bioluminescent bacterium Aliivibrio fischeri is commonly used as a bioreporter in drug inhibition studies. Its bioluminescence is regulated by the gene expression of the luxI-luxR quorum-sensing system. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of A. fischeri ATCC 7744, including identification of the putative lux operon.
