Hawaiian Bioluminescent Bacteria Assist Five-0's A Gripping Cuttlefish

Summary: Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria allow camouflage for, and ask food and shelter of, fish and squid, such as Five-0's A Gripping Cuttlefish March 13, 2020.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria affix themselves to such fish and squid as those alluded to in Hawaii Five-0 action police procedural television series episode He Puhe'e Miki: A Gripping Cuttlefish March 13, 2020.

Director Andi Armaganian and writers Kendall Sherwood and Chris Wu build the tenth season's 20th episode, as the series' 238th episode overall, around beloved, bioluminescent cuttlefish. Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria, called Vibrio fischeri by Martinus Beijerinck (March 16, 1851-Jan. 1, 1931) in 1889, cling to marine hosts like the latter cling to prey. Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria, described subsequently as Aliivibrio fischeri by Henryk Urbanczyk, disperse visible light through their luxCDABEG gene sequences and their luxI and luxR-dominated lux operons.

The lux operon (from Latin lūx, "light" and operārī, "to work"), as a 9-kilobase fragment in Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria genomes, effectuates light through catalytic luciferase enzymes.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria furnish, from luxCDAB(F)E gene sequences luxA and luxB codes for luciferase protein subunits and luxC and luxD codes for acyl-reductase and acyl-transferase enzymes.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria, grouped as Aliivibrio fischeri (from Latin aliī, "other" and Bernhard Fischer, Feb. 19, 1852-Aug. 2, 1915), give luxE-generated proteins for enzyme acyl-protein synthetases. They herd a long-chain aldehyde compound and, from the fre gene luxG in the luxCDABE-fre gene sequence, the reduced flavin mononucleotide biomolecule into light-hastening, light-harvesting oxidation. The Vibrionaceae (from Latin vibrāre, "to shake" and -āceae, "resembling") family member imparts, through luciferase enzymes, blue or green light from that oxidation by diatomic oxygen.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria jostle, with acyl-transferase enzymes and acyl carrier proteins, the free fatty acid R-COOH from biosynthesis pathways into two-enzyme systems and then aldehyde compounds.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria kindle light-emitting biochemistry in light organs by keeping to certain colony concentrations, perhaps at 100 members, in the mantle cavities behind squid heads.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria look like friendly microbes in modern traditional Hawaii because of their lovely camouflage of beloved sea life, such as bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes). They match maintenance within host mantles and mealtimes on host amino acids and sugars with counter-illumination respectively darker and lighter on host upper and lower exteriors. Legislators negotiated successfully for Oregon's brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Jan. 10, 2019, and unsuccessfully for Wisconsin's lactic acid bacteria (Lactococcus lactis) in 2010 as state microbes.

Officializing symbolic state microbes occasioned unsuccessful legislation in the Hawaii State Legislature concerning Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria in 2014 and wood-decaying bacteria in 2013, 2014 and 2017.

District 15 Representative James Tokioka, one of three representatives for Kaua'i, presented 'ākia bark bacteria (Flavobacterium akiainvivens) as first state microbe in House Bill HB 293 HD1.

Four years later, HB1217 by District 23 Representative Isaac Choy, one of 35 for Honolulu, quested again state microbe status for the ko'ohonua 'ili akia bacteria. Also in 2017 SB1212, by District 11 Senator Brian Taniguchi, one of 17 for Honolulu, recommended ko-ohonua 'ili akia bark bacteria (Flavobacterium akiainvivens) as state microbe. Senate Bill SB3124, by District 10 Senator Glenn Wakai, one of 17 for Honolulu, in 2017 suggested the Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri) as state microbe.

Hawaiian bioluminescent bacteria team up tightly with host squid for mutual survival, just as the latter tighten their tentacles around marine prey for sustainable food chains.
