Binomial name

Aequorea victoria
(Murbach and Shearer, 1902)

Aequorea victoria is a luminescent jellyfish found off the west coast of America. This jellyfish is capable of producing flashes of blue light by a quick release of calcium which interacts with the photoprotein aequorin. The blue light produced is in turn transduced to green by the now famous green fluorescent protein (GFP). Both aequorin and GFP are important tools used in biological research.
