摘要:

AbstractA list of the genera of living organisms known or believed to contain luminous species is provided in the Appendix, in a systematic context. The constraints on the accuracy of such a list and some aspects of the apparent distribution of bioluminescence are discussed.

摘要:

AbstractLuminol‐dependent chemiluminescence and thiol group oxidation of glutathione and human serum albumin were measured in order to demonstrate whether the inhibition of polymorphonuclear leukocyte chemiluminescence by albumin was attributable to thiol group oxidation. We have shown that:1thiol groups on glutathione and albumin are oxidized by PMNL stimulated by soluble and phagocytic stimuli;2thiol group oxidation in albumin and glutathione did not correlate with the inhibitory effects of these substances on luminol‐dependent chemiluminescence with respect to time course, magnitude, effects of known scavengers or extracellular activity. It was therefore concluded that thiol group oxidation was not the cause of albumin inhibition of luminol‐dependent chemiluminescence;3a metastable oxidant was identified after PMNL activation which was capable of oxidizing thiol groups but unable to elicit chemiluminescence form lu

摘要:

AbstractA simple, inexpensive, battery‐powered, portable luminometer which is based on a silicon photodiode is described. The instrument is intended to measure the light produced by chemiluminescent and bioluminescent reactions. The devic shows a good detection limit and, in a bioluminescent reaction for adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP), detected 0.5 pmol in 1ml of aqueous solution. The instrument measures irradiance from 10−13to 10−11W cm−2at the sensor, within the range 3

摘要:

AbstractThe bioluminescence of the luminous mushroom,Lampteromyces japonicus, was studied by using the mushroom gills and also the luminous mycelia, the latter being cultured from the isolated spores and grown in a potato sucrose medium. The luminescence intensity of the mushroom gills and the cultured mycelia was measured in an aqueous suspension under various conditions. The original intensity was enhanced by exposing the luminous cells to oxygen for several hours or to acids or bases for a short period. This enhancement enabled measurement of their bioluminescence spectra which were identical to the fluorescence spectrum of riboflavin, having a maximum at 524 nm. The green fluorescent substance was extracted with cold water from the mushroom and it was identified as riboflavin by spectroscopic and chromatographic analyses. Riboflavin was concluded to be the light emitter of this mushroom.
