This book is the bible of bioluminescence and a must-read not only for students but also for those who work in various fields relating to bioluminescence. It summarizes current structural information on all known bioluminescent systems in nature, from well-studied ones to those seldom investigated. This book remains an important source of chemical knowledge on bioluminescence and, since its subsequent edition's publication in 2012, has been substantially revised to include major developments in two systems: earthworm Fridericia and higher fungi whose luciferins have been elucidated and synthesized. These two new luciferins represent an essential addition to seven previously known, with fully rewritten sections covering this new subject matter. | Bioluminescence by OSAMU Shimomura, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
