Abstract
Abstract— The bioluminescence emission spectrum of the light emitted from the elytra of certain poly‐noid worms is similar to the fluorescence of the scales and to the fluorescence of flavins. In extracts the fluorescence is confined to the particulate fraction. Stimulation of bioluminescence from such particles was observed upon the addition of Fe2+ ions.Keywords
