| Abstract: | The luminescence of the solitary radiolarianThalassicolla sp. has a spectral emission maximum at 446±4 nm and the luminescence of crude homogenates can be activated by calcium ions. Electrical stimulation of single individuals frequently causes them to produce repetitive post-stimulus flashing akin to that reported in a number of other marine animals. The possible relationships between the luminescent system ofThalassicolla sp. and of certain coelenterates are discussed. |
