The fungal compound luciferin 3-hydroxyhispidin is identified, which is biosynthesized by oxidation of the precursor hispidin, a known fungal and plant secondary metabolite and does not share structural similarity with the other eight known luciferins.

Fluorescence emission anisotropy decay was used to establish that none of these holoproteins complexed with native luciferase and that the lumazine protein alone formed a 1:1 complex with theLuciferase hydroxyflavin fluorescent transient and the Luciferase peroxyflavin intermediates.

A high-energy endoperoxide is proposed as an intermediate of the oxidation of the native luciferin to the oxyluciferin, which is a pyruvic acid adduct of caffeic acid.

The structure elucidation and synthesis of the luciferin from the recently discovered luminous earthworm Fridericia heliota is reported and one of them was found to produce light when reacted with a protein extract from F. heliota.
Redescription of Fridericia heliota (Annelida, Clitellata: Enchytraeidae), a luminous worm from the Siberian taiga, with a review of bioluminescence in the Oligochaeta
