Abstract
Luminescence in the marine ostracods Cypridina noctiluca and Vargula hilgendorfii is produced by Cypridina luciferin-luciferase reaction. In this study, a feeding experiment with stable isotope-labeled amino acids was performed in C. noctiluca. The results of LC/ESI-MS analyses indicated that C. noctiluca is able to synthesize Cypridina luciferin de novo from three amino acids (L-tryptophan, L-isoleucine, and L-arginine).
