1889670241889. C. R. Acad. Sci. 109. - Paris 1889 4° 3 pp. orig. Broschur; gefaltet. Rare Offprint! "Pholas dactylus the common glowing piddock is a famous luminescent organism because Dubois who discovered the general luciferin-luciferase reaction back in the 19th century was specifically working on this species Dubois 1889." Delroisse Jérôme Duchatelet Laurent Flammang Patrick Mallefet Jérôme: Leaving the Dark Side Insights Into the Evolution of Luciferases. Frontiers in Marine Science 8 2021 Raphaël Horace Dubois 1849-1929 was a French pharmacologist known for his work on bioluminescence and anesthesia. He coined the terms proteon and bioproteon from the Greek "proteon" for matter and "bios" for life. Bioproteon means "living matter". He concluded that there was no difference between matter and living matter. Dubois' bioluminescence work began when he became a research assistant to Paul Bert in 1882. While initially planning to study the effects of anesthesia on mollusks witnessing the bioluminescence of Pyrophorus noctilucus inspired him to study the beetle more in depth. Dubois discovered that not only do the adults glow but so do the unfertilized eggs embryo and larvae. Dubois later conducted studies on Scolioplanes crassipes wherein Dubois discovered the source of its luminescence is in cells of the wall of the gut. Dubois published a paper studying the light production of Pholas dactylus in 1887 in which he coined the terms luciferin and luciferase. unknown
