ABSTRACT Here we provide a molecular description of a new psychrophilic strain, KCh11, of marine luminescent bacteria classified as Aliivibrio logei . We sequenced the entire lux operon of A. logei KCh1 and showed that it is substantially similar to the lux operon of Aliivibrio salmonicida . It was demonstrated that the reduced production of bioluminescence in A. salmonicida is most likely defined by a specific defect in its luxD gene.
