I always thought Renilla was a beetle for some reason.. apparently it is a polyp.. I just found out.. but why is it called a pansy? It doesn't look like the flower at all?
Also, it says it produces green fluorescent protein, is that right? I thought it produced a luciferin analog.. the jellyfish Aequoria victoria is the one from which GFP was isolated. But I guess polyps and jellyfish are related.
So does anyone know the connection between luciferin, renilla and gfp?
