Colon is basically anaerobic or microaerobic, you'd get no glow. If anything, the luciferase would eat up what oxygen remained!

This night I was just thinking about the following:What if you put the lux operon into it and somehow get the bacteria in your gut? And, if they would be able to stay in thereThen your intestines would be weakly glowing (but lower oxygen levels would likely limit this)The blue light would help stimulate DNA repair, so colon cancer rates may be drastically lowered?I assume the light induced DNA repair mechanism (via p53) is still present in human cells.
