The database on luminous bacteria stored at the culture collection IBSO is one of metasections of the database on luminescent organisms "BIOLUMBASE". A logical scheme of the metasection "Natural Luminescent Microorganisms", classification of subjects, methods of presentation of attributes have been developed. The database of luminescent bacteria supported in the IBSO collection is supplemented with the data of the own studies of employees of the collection and with the information from scientific literature. The database will contain information that may be useful for the solution of various tasks of microbial ecology and biotechnology  where luminescent bacteria, luminescent system isolated from them and lux-genes cloned into other organisms are used. The users will be able to obtain not only cataloguized information about strains, but also information about properties, functions, use, bibliography, and to carry out search for strains with respect to any set of desirable attributes.
