摘要:
A fluorescent tool such as a candle, a table light, a pen light, an illumination, a lighting tool for camping, a lighting tool for night fishing, a fish-luring light, a safe candle, a neon light, a luminescent ink, a luminescent pen, luminescent paint or luminescent writing implement which can emit a light whose color tone is soft and beyond description and cannot be obtained by a conventional candle flame through sea water, lake/marsh water, river water, ground water, city water, mineral drinking water, etc. by utilizing three components, i.e. luciferin, luciferase and ATP, or four components including the three components and a metallic salt among components which are necessary for the bioluminescence such as a firefly.
摘要:
A variant luciferase having been improved in sustained luminescence compared with the wild one; a variant luciferase gene encoding the amino acid sequence of this luciferase; a recombinant DNA characterized by being constructed by inserting this variant luciferase gene into a vector DNA; a transformant or a transductant containing this recombinant DNA; and a process for producing the variant luciferase which comprises culturing the above transformant or transductant in a medium and recovering the variant luciferase from the culture medium.
