Research Abstract |
To secure the resource that created a new bioluminescence technology, we local investigated the living thing of luminescent organisms in all parts of the world. The surveyed region was China, the United States, Europe, Brazil, New Zealand, and was Australia. In these eras, we investigated and collected luminescent beetles, the brittle stars, the luminescent shark, and the luminescence insect. We extract a gene and low molecular compound from collected samples in local cooperator's laboratory. Under the permission of local researcher, we took out a part of original sample in AIST and had been studying the bioluminescence system including the identification of luciferase and luciferin.
