  1. The clones were identified by DFI and the sequence upstream the reporter gene was determined by DNA-sequencing. Fluorescence induction factors were determined by three independent measurements, experimental standard deviation is given in the brackets. The promoter motifs were identified with the Softberry BProm analysis tool and homologous promoter motifs were searched within the intergenic regions of the P. luminescens genome. The -10 and the -35 regions are highlighted in bold, and the mismatches compared to the identified promoter motifs are highlighted in italics. The genes downstream of the promoter motifs are marked.
