Laboratory culture of the California Sea Firefly Vargula tsujii (Ostracoda: Cypridinidae): Developing a model system for the evolution of marine bioluminescence

摘要

Species of bioluminescent metazoans for which cultures are known to exist, including information on the luciferin used for luminescence, estimated generation times, and whether the luciferin used is synthesized via the genome of the luminescent organism itself (autogenic).
