Photobacterium phosphoreum ANT-2200. Photobacterium phosphoreum ANT-2200

Photobacterium phosphoreum ANT-2200 is a moderately piezophilic, luminous species isolated at 2200 depth from the Mediterranean Sea. Its growth and emission of light is increased when the cells were grown under pressure compared to at atmosphere pressure (1, 4). 1. Al Ali, B., M. Garel, P. Cuny, J. C. Miquel, T. Toubal, A.
