Marine Bioluminescence: Mechanisms and Evaluation
In this report we emphasize our efforts towards elucidating the intracellular processes involved in sensing a mechanical stimulus and transducing that stimulus into a biochemical reaction resulting in light output. Bioluminescent dinoflagellates are ideal for such work because they are free-living singlecelled organisms, making it relatively simple to examine intracellular transduction events; ...
متن کاملNeuropsychological perspectives on the mechanisms of imitation.
Cognitive neuroscientists have contributed to the understanding of imitation according to their expertise. Neuropsychologists first established over a century ago that lesions to the left hemisphere of right-handed individuals lead to a dramatic reduction of their ability to imitate gestures. In contrast, after frontal lobe damage, patients may experience severe difficulties in inhibiting their...

1. Small dumps of the luminous cells of Mnemiopsis cannot readily be stimulated mechanically but will luminesce on treatment with saponin solution. Larger groups of luminous cells (such as are connected with two paddle plates) luminesce on mechanical stimulation. This suggests that mechanical stimulation to luminesce occurs chiefly through a nerve mechanism which has been broken up in the small...
متن کاملStudies on Bioluminescence
Some solubility, oxidation, reduction, and compound-forming characteristics of extracts of Cypridina luciferin have been presented. A method of purification has been described which increased the amount of luciferin per unit of dry weight, as measured by the total light emitted, to about two thousand times that in the dry starting material. The best yields were from 50 to 65 per cent.
متن کاملPredicting Bioluminescence Signatures Based on the NAVOCEANO Bioluminescence Database
Bioluminescence represents an operational threat to U.S. Navy nighttime operations because of the risk due to flow-stimulated light emission from naturally occurring plankton. Conversely, bioluminescence presents additional capabilities for detecting moving objects at night, particularly in the littoral zone where conventional acoustic surveillance is severely challenged. We are interested in t...
