Description
This part is an artificial operon consisting of the luxCDE genes of the bioluminescent bacterium Xenorhabdus luminescens Hb. The luxCDE gene products synthesise the aldehdye substrate for the luciferase LuxAB.
Notes
The normal operon structure is luxCDABE. This part is derived from an earlier (non-BioBrick) project, in which the luxCD genes were fused to luxE so that the aldehyde biosynthesis machinery could be induced separately from the luciferase. An XbaI site must be removed from within luxD.

Amplified from genomic DNA of Xenorhabdus luminescens Hb (NCIMB 12670).
