title: [The bioanalytical uses of the luciferase from fireflies (a review)].
abstract: Main principles of the bioluminescent microassay with the use of firefly luciferase are considered. Literature data and own experimental results of the author on application of luciferase in microbiology, clinical biochemistry, and express assays for antibiotic sensitivity and resistance to biocorrosion are generalized. New approaches to the use of luciferase for the detection of enzyme labels in EIA and for the nonradioactive detection of DNA probes are discussed.
