title: [Conflict: induction-inhibition of transgene bacteria luminescence in studying expression of lux-genes].
abstract: The relationship between the induction of the luminescent operon of lux-genes fused with the naphthalene and salicylate degradation genes and the inhibition of light emission caused by these compounds was studied. The quantitative correlations between these processes manifest themselves in the fact that light intensity linearly increased in a narrow concentration range of the inductor and then decreased due to the inhibition of the luminescence reaction itself, which is not related to the regulation of expression of lux-genes.
