Isolation and characterization of novel marine luminescent bacteria from Diu beach, India

The use of pharmaceuticals products is on the rise and in turn its pollution is rising in an ecosystem. The isolated strain may act as a potential biosensing agent as it responded to change in luminescence for even nanomolar quantities of several heavy metals/antibiotics. In conclusion, study highlighted V. rotiferianus isolated from Diu beach could be utilized in detection and quantitative estimation of pollutant by change in luminescence level of V. rotiferianus.
