DE   bacterial luciferase.
AN   aldehyde monooxygenase.
AN   alkanal monooxygenase (FMN-linked).
CA   a long-chain fatty aldehyde + FMNH2 + O2 = a long-chain fatty acid +
CA   FMN + 2 H(+) + H2O + hnu.
CC   -!- The reaction sequence starts with the incorporation of a molecule of
CC       oxygen into reduced FMN bound to the enzyme, forming luciferase
CC       peroxyflavin.
CC   -!- The peroxyflavin interacts with an aliphatic long-chain aldehyde,
CC       producing a highly fluorescent species believed to be luciferase
CC       hydroxyflavin.
CC   -!- The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN and for long-chain
CC       aliphatic aldehydes with eight carbons or more.
CC   -!- The highest efficiency is achieved with tetradecanal. cf.
CC       EC 1.13.12.18.
