Field research of Bioluminescent organism for new bioluminescent probes

为了确保创造一种新的生物发光技术的资源，我们对世界各地的发光生物进行了当地调查。被调查的地区包括中国、美国、欧洲、巴西、新西兰和澳大利亚。在这些时期，我们调查和收集了发光甲虫、海蛇尾、发光鲨鱼和发光昆虫。我们从当地合作者的实验室收集的样品中提取了一个基因和低分子化合物。在当地研究员的许可下，我们在AIST取出了一部分原始样品，并一直在研究生物发光系统，包括荧光素酶和荧光素的鉴定。

To secure the resource that created a new bioluminescence technology, we local investigated the living thing of luminescent organisms in all parts of the world. The surveyed region was China, the United States, Europe, Brazil, New Zealand, and was Australia. In these eras, we investigated and collected luminescent beetles, the brittle stars, the luminescent shark, and the luminescence insect. We extract a gene and low molecular compound from collected samples in local cooperator's laboratory. Under the permission of local researcher, we took out a part of original sample in AIST and had been studying the bioluminescence system including the identification of luciferase and luciferin.
