发光蚯蚓的发光体系研究进展

发光蚯蚓在世界范围内广泛分布。大多数发光蚯蚓的发光体系包含于蚯蚓体腔液内充满颗粒的细胞内。早期对不同种发光蚯蚓的生理学及生物化学方面的对比研究表明大多数发光蚯蚓的发光体系是类似的，但最近对线蚓科的两个种的研究发现它们不仅发光源的定位特殊，而且发光反应所需要的成分也明显不同于其他种类。本文对发光蚯蚓的发光器官和发光体系的研究现状及其进展进行了综述，并将有代表性的发光蚯蚓的发光体系进行了对比总结。

Progress in Luminescence System of Bioluminescence Earthworms

Bioluminescent earthworms (Oligochaeta) are world wide living. The bioluminescence system is contained within large, granule-filled coelomic cells except for some species. It is indicated considerable similarity in the system of bioluminescence in earlier research by the comparison physiology and biochemistry of many bioluminescence earthworms. However, recent experiment show the luminescence systems of the enchytraeids Fridericia heliota and Henlea sp. significantly differ from each other and from all luminescence systems of oligochaetes known to date.The luminous organs and luminescence systems of bioluminescence earthworms are reviewed, luminescence systems of typical earthworms are compared in this article.
