Coconut flowers, a fluorescent mushroom distributed in Brazil, emit green fluorescence in the dark, and Russian and Brazilian researchers have analyzed the mushroom's luminescence mechanism to synthesize luciferin molecules, which are expected to be used in other biochemical experiments.
a fluorescent mushroom commonly known locally as "coconut flowers" under palm trees in parts of Brazil.
in daylight, the mushrooms are yellow and white, but at night or in dark caves they emit green fluorescence, attracting insects to help spread spores.
does this mushroom glow? Experts from the Institute of Bio-Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences and their Brazilian colleagues conducted a study.
researchers report in the new issue of Scientific Advances that certain protein molecules in mushroom cells emit green light by oxidizing their own endetic fluorins using oxygen and adenosine triphosphate in the cells.
also found that the luciferin molecules are made up of two important fragments.
They mimicked the structure of the two fragments, synthesized six fluorescent molecule fragments with the chemical fluorescent substitone alpha fluorin, and replaced the mushroom's natural fluorescent molecule fragments one by one, and found that five artificial fragments collaborated with the natural fragments to emit orange, yellow, light green, blue-green, and light blue fluorescence separately from the mushrooms and cultured separately.
