3 天之前 · Chemical reactions in the jellyfish body allows them to emit light in dark waters. The different types of bioluminescent jellyfish species we share at AnimalWised use this ability for various functions, such as defense, communication and attracting prey.

2020年4月24日 · What makes a jellyfish glow? For scientists, asking that simple question led to a powerful new tool that’s completely transformed medicine — and won the Nobel!

2021年10月15日 · Most of them Glow in the dark as most jellyfish live in the deep sea, in the total darkness. Most jellyfish glow because of the particular chemical reaction in the cells of their tentacles called “Photocytes.”

2017年11月13日 · After various tweaks in the lab, he was only able to produce a low glow from samples isolated from the jellyfish, so he dumped the samples into a sink to clean up for the day. When the fluid hit the sink, there was a sudden bright blue flash.

2013年10月18日 · In the early 1960s Osamu Shimomura arrived from Japan at Princeton University to study naturally glowing (bioluminescent) jellyfish. The species Aequorea victoria emitted a bright green glow...

2019年7月19日 · After sequencing its transcriptome—the genes expressed in the jelly's body—Shaner was surprised to find several for light-producing proteins similar to green fluorescent protein (GFP), which scientists have used for decades to track proteins in cells and even create glow-in-the-dark cats.

2013年10月17日 · In the early 1960s Osamu Shimomura arrived from Japan at Princeton University to study naturally glowing (bioluminescent) jellyfish. The species Aequorea victoria emitted a bright green glow...

This barrel-shaped protein makes jellyfish glow green under blue and ultraviolet light. Scientists can use this protein and its cousins that glow in different colors to track biochemical processes, opening new paths for research.

Shimomura was a young researcher with a simple question: What made the crystal jelly, Aequorea victoria, glow bright green when agitated? His attempts to isolate a luminescent luciferase enzyme...

3 天之前 · The glow of GloFish comes from fluorescent genes found in marine organisms, responsible for natural bioluminescence in species like jellyfish and coral. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene, isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, absorbs light at one wavelength and emits it at another, creating a glow.
