## THREE FIGURES Cyanide is known to retard cellular oxidations by inactivation of some of the enzymes concerned. Since luminescence in Cypridina results when luciferin is oxidized in the presence of luciferase, cyanide might be expected t o affect luciferase with consequent reduction of luminesce
Although luminescence of Cypridina lucif erin by oxidants mhcn dissolved in ethyl alcohol has been observed, no conditions have been previously found under which Cypridina luciferin will emit light in aqueous solutions in the absence of Cypridina luciferase. All attempts to observe luminescence duri
