BIOLlEilNlSCENCE of Cypridina hilgendorfii (Japenese name:umi-hotaru) has been studied extensively since 1917, when Harvey (1) observed the luciferin-luciferase reaction with extracts of this animal. The luminescent system of Cypridina is one of the simplest among luminous animals and plantc 60 far
CYPRIDINA luciferin (I) has been shoosn to have the structure represented by Ia (1). We wish to report in this oommunioation a total.
Cypridina bioluminescence is produced in aqueous solution by oxidation of Cypridina luciferin (substrate) with molecular oxygen in the presence of Cypridina luciferase (enzyme), which may be classified as one of the dioxygenases (1). Luciferin also chemiluminesces strongly in aprotic solvents such a
