Evidence for de novo Biosynthesis of the Luminous Substrate Coelenterazine in Ctenophores

© 2020 The Authors Coelenterazine is a key substrate involved in marine bioluminescence which is used for light-production by at least nine phyla. Some luminous animals, such as the hydromedusa Aequorea, lack the ability to produce coelenterazine endogenously and instead depend on dietary sources. L...
