Luminous Organs of Fish Which Emit Light Indirectly
INTRODUCTI9N THERE ARE MANY REPO~TS of luminous fishes, all of which, in earlier days, were taken from the deep seas. Luminous organs were found on the sides of the bodies, on the barbels, or on the antennae. In ourward 'appearance these fishes were strangely shaped and feebl y developed, with soft bones and loose muscles, and it was assumed that such 'unusual fishes belonged exclusively to the...
متن کاملEvidence of luminous bacterial symbionts in the light organs of myctophid and stomiiform fishes.
The myctophids and stomiiforms represent two common groups of luminous fishes, but the source of luminescence in these animals has remained undetermined. In this study, labeled luciferase gene fragments from luminous marine bacteria were used to probe DNA isolated from specific fish tissues. A positive signal was obtained from skin DNA in all luminous fishes examined, whereas muscle DNA gave a ...
متن کاملLuminous Organs of the Deep-Sea Squaloid Shark, Centroscyllium ritteri Jordan and Fowler
IN THEIR world -wide revision of the squaloid sharks, Bigelow and Schroeder ( 1957: 47) referred five species to the genus Centr oscyllium, viz.: riiteri, granulatum, fabricii , nigrum, and ornatum. Of these, one species only, C. ritteri Jordan and Fowler, is recorded from the western Pacific region. Since this species appears to inhabit rather great depths, very little regarding it has been re...
متن کاملThe Total Luminous Efficiency of Luminous Bacteria
Methods are described for measuring the light emitted by an emulsion of luminous bacteria of given thickness, and calculating the light emitted by a single bacterium, measuring 1.1 x 2.2 micra, provided there is no absorption of light in the emulsion. At the same time, the oxygen consumed by a single bacterium was measured by recording the time for the bacteria to use up .9 of the oxygen dissol...
متن کاملLuminous Quasars in Luminous Early-Type Host Galaxies
Some recent observations of nearby quasars with HST have apparently failed to detect host galaxies. We review the HST observations as well as near infrared ground-based observations of the same objects. We nd that the quasar hosts can be detected in the HST data if they are smoothed suuciently to reveal low surface brightness. The smooth hosts are very diicult to detect with HST but are more ea...
