Mechanism of oxidative carbon dioxide production during Renilla reniformis bioluminescence.
The oxidation of luciferin catalyzed by sea pansy luciferase results in the emission of light. Molecular oxygen is required and carbon dioxide is produced. When the reaction occurs in the presence of H(2) (18)O, both of the oxygens of the carbon dioxide are labeled. One of the oxygens arises from the nonenzymic exchange of the ketone group of the substrate; the other oxygen is incorporated duri...
متن کاملStudies on the Bioluminescence of Renilla reniformis*
In earlier investigations on the bioluminescent system of the sea pansy, Renilla renifformis, we reported that adenine-containing nucleotides (either adenosine mono-, di-, or triphosphate), an oxidizable substrate (Renilla luciferin), molecular oxygen, and an enzyme (RenilZa luciferase) were required for luminescence in crude extracts of this organism (1, 2). In addition, several lines of evide...
متن کاملStudies on Bioluminescence. X. Carbon Dioxide Production during Luminescence of Cypridina Luciferin. by E. Newton Harvey
All luminous animals require oxygen for luminescence bu t it is not known whether they give off CO2 as a result of the luminescence. Luminous bacteria produce carbon dioxide but this is no doubt the carbon dioxide of respiration. Even if we could prove that luminous bacteria produced more carbon dioxide than certain non-luminous bacteria, this would not necessarily znean that the excess carbon ...
متن کاملSimulation of Carbon Dioxide Production during Composting of Agro-Wastes
Carbon dioxide production during composting of agro-waste can be taken as the indicator of rate, progress and termination of compost phenomenon and stabilization of organic matter, leading to a balanced compromise between complexity of mathematical model and extensive experimentation. Modeling and simulation of composting of agro-wastes based on experimentally measured carbon dioxide production...
متن کاملOxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during liquid ventilation.
Liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon (PFCV) has advantages over conventional gas ventilation (GV) in premature and lung-injured newborn animals. Indirect calorimetric measurement of both oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) during PFCV has not been previously performed. In addition, comparison to indirect calorimetric measurement of VO2 and VCO2 during GV has not bee...
