Dyakia bioluminescence--1. Bioluminescence and fluorescence spectra of the land snail, D. striata.
The luminescent land snail Dyakia striata displayed a bioluminescence spectrum with a maximum wavelength of 515 nm. A green fluorescent substance extracted from the photogenic organ of an adult snail had a similar wavelength maximum but its fluorescence spectrum differed from that of flavin chromophore substances involved in light emission in some other luminescent organisms.
