Аннотация: The involvement of upper electron-excited states in bacterial bioluminescence process was studied with excitation energy-accepting molecules. The fluorescent aromatic compounds, anthracene and 1.4-bis(5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)benzene, were chosen. Energies of their lowest excited singlet states are higher than the energy of the analogouПоказать полностьюs state of the bioluminescence emitter; their absorption spectra and bioluminescence do not overlap. Hence, the excitation of these molecules by singlet-singlet energy transfer or by light absorption is excluded. Sensitized fluorescence of these compounds in the bioluminescence systems has been recorded, indicating the activity of upper electron-excited states in the bioluminescent process.
