Abstract:
Abstract The distribution of the species of Lucifer Thompson, 1829 (Decapoda: Luciferidae) in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre was assessed by the Brazil Transatlantic Commission in November and December 2009. The samples were collected at 83 stations on two profiles between Brazil and Africa (20 º and 30 ºS). Oblique hauls were performed with a WP-2 net up to 150 meters deep. A distinct sexual relationship was noted between the two species found and L. faxoni presented a significantly higher number of females relative to males 1:0.5 (X2 = 21.77, p = 0.0001). The L. typus sex ratio had significantly more males than females 1.86:1 (X2=50.84, p = 0.0001). The distribution of L. typus occurred in both the western and the eastern portions of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge. This distribution was significantly related to salinity (R2 = 0:13; F = 3.79, p = 0.009), which was higher in the western portion of the study area. In addition, the recordings of the two species were extended to the Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. Overall, Luciferidae shrimp were more common and abundant at the stations west of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and L. typus was the most frequent and abundant species.

Abstract:
AbstractDendrobranchiata shrimp taxonomic composition and spatial and temporal distribution on the Amazon continental shelf (ACS) were investigated along a transect between the sources of the Amazon and Pará Rivers, encompassing an extension of ~250 km towards the continental slope. Plankton was collected with oblique trawls (200 μm mesh size), and nine taxa were found; 59.4% were larvae (mysis or decapodid stages) and 40.6% were juveniles or adults. Acetes was negatively related to chlorophyll-a and temperature, and Luciferidae were positively correlated with months. This study provides novel information on the density distribution of dendrobranchiate shrimps, thus helping to pave the way to characterize a large-scale, hugely relevant area that is poorly studied. As in other tropical coastal areas, there is here an increase in number of taxa with increased distance from the coast. Luciferidae, Solenoceridae and Penaeidae were the most frequent families whereas Sicyoniidae and Sergestidae had the lowest frequency of occurrence nearer the slope. Despite the low larval density of penaeid shrimps, their presence in all months and at all sampling sites along the ACS proves the importance of this area for shrimps with socioeconomic relevance, as well as its importance as a nursery and growth habitat for dendrobranchiate shrimps.

Abstract:
The phylogenetic analysis of Sergestoidea based on 253 morphological characters and encompassing all 99 valid species confirmed all previously recognized genus-level clades. Analysis retrieved five major robust clades that correspond to families Luciferidae, Sergestidae, Acetidae fam.n., Sicyonellidae fam.n. and Petalidiumidae fam.n. Synonymy, emended diagnoses and composition of revealed family-level clades are provided. Three types of morphological characters were important in the phylogeny of the Sergestoidea: general external characters, copulatory organs, and photophores. Novel metrics to quantify the contribution of these character types were tested. General external characters were significant in supporting the major clades (80% of the families and nearly half of the genera). Copulatory organ characters and photophores greatly supported the medium-level clades: Lucifer, Belzebub , Petalidium, Neosergestes, Challengerosergia (copulatory organ characters) and Lucensosergia , Challengerosergia, Gardinerosergia , Phorcosergia (photophores). An evolutionary model of the Sergestoidea showing their pathways into their principal biotopes is proposed: the major clades evolved in a vertical direction (from epi- to bathypelagic); further divergence at the genus level occurred within vertical zones in a horizontal direction, with the invasion of the benthopelagic and neritic (shelf and estuarine) habitats and speciation within these domains.

Abstract:
Luciferid shrimps have short life spans and a rapid turnover of generations, engage in sequential spawning, and protect their eggs during incubation. This study investigates the ecology of Lucifer faxoni Borradaile, 1915 in the littoral zone, Ubatuba region, São Paulo. Sampling was conducted monthly from July 2005 to December 2006 using a Renfro net trawled over a distance of 50 m for a total sampling effort of 50 m² at each station. Nine stations were sampled, ranging from 1 to 15 m deep. Three stations each were grouped into zones 1, 2 and 3 (Z1, Z2 and Z3). Monthly values of salinity, temperature and rainfall were recorded at each station. The pre-buccal somite length (SL) of each specimen was measured. The results showed that in shallower zones (Z1 and Z2), 6306 individuals were captured, whereas in the deeper zone (Z3), 3808 specimens were captured, but no significant differences in SL was detected between the specimens from Z1 and Z2 and those from Z3 (ANOVA, p=0.25). The abundance of shrimps did not differ significantly between seasons (Tukey's test, p=0.02) except in the spring. The sex ratio differed significantly over the seasons (χ², p<0.05). The results were closely associated with environmental factors with respect to the spatial and seasonal distribution of L. faxoni. Rainfall affected salinity directly, and contributed to the displacement of these shrimps to deeper areas.

Abstract:
Este tese descreve métodos para a purificação e determinação da massa molecular do precursor da luciferina fúngica, a partir dos corpos de frutificação do fungo bioluminescente Neonothopanus gardneri. A molécula em questão é o substrato da primeira etapa da reação enzimática responsável pela emissão de luz em fungos, fenômeno conhecido como bioluminescência. Ao longo do projeto, foi otimizado um ensaio analítico qualitativo para detecção do precursor da luciferina em solução, e também foram desenvolvidos métodos de extração e purificação da molécula de interesse, levando sempre em consideração a baixa quantidade da molécula disponível in vivo e a susceptibilidade de degradação da molécula quando exposta a oxigênio, luz e pH extremos. Após estabelecer diversas condições cromatográficas para a purificação do precursor da luciferina, foi possível correlacionar uma molécula de massa molecular 246,05 u com uma atividade positiva no ensaio analítico qualitativo para detecção da luciferina em solução. Posteriormente, foi descoberto por um grupo russo que o precursor da luciferina tinha massa molecular 246,05 u e fórmula molecular C13H10O5. Também foram realizados experimentos a fim de corroborar a estrutura molecular do produto da reação de emissão de luz em fungos, assim como determinar o seu mecanismo de formação.<br>This thesis describes methods for purification and determination of molecular mass of fungal luciferin precursor from fruiting bodies of bioluminescent fungus Neonothopanus gardneri.

After establishing several chromatographic conditions for purification of luciferin precursor, it was possible to correlate a molecule with molecular mass of 246.05 u with a positive activity in the qualitative analytical assay. Later, a Russian group describe that the precursor of luciferin had molecular mass 246.05 u and molecular formula C13H10O5.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Luiz Francisco Monteiro Leite Ciscato<br>Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Tecnologia/Química, 2017.<br>A reação de produção de luz pelo vaga-lume envolve a oxidação enzimática da Dluciferina, um composto que contém dois anéis tiazólicos; a formação desta D-luciferina em meio biológico acontece por um processo envolvendo a reação de D-cisteína com 2-ciano-6- hidroxibenzotiazol, uma reação de mecanismo ainda desconhecido. Esta reação tem sido empregada na formação eficiente de conjugados entre duas moléculas de atividade biológica distintas, de maneira muito eficiente, e permite o desenvolvimento racional de bioconjugados altamente específicos. A proposta mecanística atual apresenta várias lacunas, principalmente quanto às etapas de catálise básica e de ciclização, porém a eficiência da reação em meio aquoso básico é inequívoca. A determinação do mecanismo operando nesta transformação na condição aquosa básica, além de solucionar um problema mecanístico de relevância biológica, pode levar ao desenvolvimento de novos processos eficientes de formação de bioconjugados em meio aquoso.<br>The reaction involved in the light emission by firefly involves the oxidation of Dluciferin, a compound containing two thiazolic rings; the formation of D-luciferin in biological media involves the coupling between D-cysteine and 2-cyano-6- hidroxibenzotiazol, a reaction with a undetermined mechanism. Althought, this reaction has been used in efficient generation of conjugates between two molecules of biological activity, allowing the rational development of bioconjugates with high specificity. The proposed mechanistic pathway has many deficiencies, particularly in relation to the stages of basic catalysis and cyclization; however, the efficiency of reaction in aqueous basic media is unequivocal. The determination of the mechanism operating in this transformation in aqueous conditions, in addition to solving a problem of mechanistical relevance, can lead to the development of new efficient processes of formation of specific bioconjugates.

Esta tese descreve como é possível obter emissão de luz in vitro enzimaticamente, a partir de extratos quente e frio de diferentes espécies de fungos bioluminescentes, o que indica também um mecanismo comum de bioluminescência em todos esses organismos. Dados cinéticos sugerem um mecanismo enzimático em duas etapas e corroboram a hipótese enzimática de Airth e Foerster, da década de 1960. Finalmente, utilizando-se extratos quente e frio foi possível também isolar a luciferina fúngica e obter sua massa molecular (298,1837 m/z). Essa substância isolada emite luz enzimaticamente in vitro, sendo que a sobreposição do espectro de emissão e do espectro de bioluminescência do fungo confirma que essa substância é a luciferina fúngica.<br>This thesis describes how in vitro light emission can be enzymatically obtained from the hot and cold extracts assay using different species of fungi, which also indicates a common mechanism of light emission for all these organisms.

Finally, using hot and cold extracts assay we were also able to purify and to determine the molecular weight of the fungal luciferin (298.1837 m/z). The isolated substance emits light enzymatically in vitro, whose light emission spectrum matches with the fungal bioluminescence one thus confirming that the substance is the fungal luciferin

Abstract:
A bioluminescência desperta o interesse humano há muitos séculos. Presente em quatro dos sete reinos taxonômicos, Monera, Chromista, Animalia e Fungi, cada um com mecanismos muito diferentes. Pode-se dizer que o estudo químico da bioluminescência começou com os experimentos de Dubois no século XIX, que cunhou os termos luciferina e luciferase, termos genéricos para o substrato e enzima envolvidos na reação, respectivamente. No caso específico de fungos, o envolvimento de enzimas foi debatido por quase cinco décadas, após a proposta enzimática de Airth e Foerster na década de 1960 e a não enzimática por Shimomura, em 1989. Somente em 2009 a hipótese de Airth e Foerster foi confirmada pelo nosso grupo, seguido da identificação da luciferina fúngica e o envolvimento de hispidina, como molécula precursora, em 2015 pelo grupo de Yampolsky. Para conseguir elucidar mecanismos químicos, a técnica de espectrometria de massas pode ser empregada para a identificação estrutural de reagentes e intermediários destas e de outras reações orgânicas. Após a confirmação do envolvimento de hispidina na bioluminescência de fungos, utilizou-se a técnica de cromatografia líquida acoplada a espectrometria de massas para identificar a presença de hispidina, seus derivados e intermediários precursores, em fungos e em algumas plantas.<br>Bioluminescence arises human interest for centuries. Occurring in four of seven taxonomical Kingdoms, Monera, Chromista, Animalia and Fungi, each of them with completely different mechanisms. The chemical study of bioluminescence starts in XIX century with Dubois, who coined the terms luciferin and luciferase, generic terms for substrate and enzyme involved in the bioluminescent reaction, respectively. In the specific case of fungi, enzyme involvement has been debated for almost five decades, after the enzymatic proposal by Airth and Foerster, during the 1960 decade, and the non-enzymatic proposal by Shimomura in 1989. It was only in 2009 when the proposal by Airth and Foerster was confirmed by our group, followed by the identification of the fungal luciferin and the involvement of hispidin, as the precursor molecule, in 2015 by Yampolskys group. To elucidate the chemical mechanisms, mass spectrometry can be employed to structural identification of reagents and intermediates on these and other organic reactions. After the confirmation of hispidin involvement in fungi bioluminescence, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was uses do identify the presence of hispidin, its derivatives and precursor intermediates in fungi and selected plants.

Abstract:
Esta tese descreve estudos realizados na tentativa de purificar e caracterizar enzimas envolvidas na BL de fungos, além de trabalhos conduzidos a fim de investigar o mecanismo da bioluminescência de fungos. Inicialmente, tentou-se isolar as duas enzimas supostamente responsáveis pala reação bioluminescente em fungos. Parâmetros de atividade ótima (pH e temperatura) e comportamento cinético foram investigados. Todavia, com a descoberta de que a luciferina fúngica é o derivado hidroxilado da hispidina (3-hidróxihispidina), novas estratégias foram abordadas. Os esforços se concentraram na purificação da luciferase, visto que a hidroxilase não faz parte do sistema bioluminescente de fungos. Avaliação da interação da luciferase fúngica com a luciferina ou derivados dela sugeriram comportamento relativamente promíscuo da enzima. Os resultados indicaram que a reação luciferina-luciferase é favorecida em meio básico (pH ~8), a ~20 &#176;C. Ensaios com 18O2 revelaram que a inserção de oxigênio na molécula de luciferina produz um intermediário cuja descarboxilação gera a oxiluciferina. Paralelamente, a síntese da hispidina in vitro a partir de ácido cafeico na presença de malonil-CoA e de extrato de micélios bioluminescentes resultou na emissão de luz, confirmando que a luciferina é reciclada no processo.<br>This work describes studies performed to purify and characterize enzymes responsible for the fungal bioluminescence. Also, it shows important data that contributes to understand the mechanism for bioluminescence reaction in fungi. First, we tried to isolate two enzymes suspected of being involved on fungal bioluminescence. Optimum activity parameters (pH and temperature) and kinetic behavior were investigated. However, the discovery that fungal luciferin is the hispidin derivative 3-hydroxyhispidin demanded adaptations in the project. First of all, concentrates efforts to luciferase purification was priority, since hydroxylase is not part of the bioluminescent system of fungi. Studies on the luciferase interaction with different substrates showed some promiscuity for the enzyme. The results indicated higher intensity of light from luciferin-luciferase reaction in alkaline solutions (pH ~ 8) at ~ 20 &#176;C. The reaction in medium with 18O2 revealed that insertion of oxygen into the luciferin structure produces an intermediate whose decarboxylation generates oxyluciferin. In parallel, the in vitro synthesis of hispidin using caffeic acid and malonyl-CoA with the mycelium extract resulted in the emission of light, confirming that luciferin is recycled in the process.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter begins by describing how Michael W. Ford founded the Order of Phosphorus (TOPH). Ford’s writings, as well as his organizations, have a pronounced eclectic approach, weaving together several religious tenets, such as Zoroastrian, Sumerian, and Western Judeo/Christian esoteric elements. The Bible of the Adversary (2007) is a key text in Ford’s Luciferian ideology. The chapter then considers an excerpt from The Bible of the Adversary, located in the section called the Book of Taromat, attributed to the element Earth. Ford follows the common occult understanding of Earth as connected to manifestation and foundation. Ritual, then, is a way to manifest the individual will of the practitioner, a goal reflected in Lucifer as the very epitome of self-realization. The didactic context of the Book of Taromat, wherein the ritual scripts are located, suggests that the intended audience is new to Luciferian ritual practice.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter evaluates Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry (1871), which has become one of the most famous and notorious books about Masonry ever published, not least because of its references to Lucifer and Baphomet. While Pike was not by any definition a Satanist or a Luciferian, the ambivalent description of Lucifer in Morals and Dogma has contributed to the image of him as the primary proponent of Luciferian Masonry. Morals and Dogma is divided into thirty-two parts, each dealing with one of the degrees of the Scottish Rite, excluding the 33th. It claims to be the collected wisdom of several philosophical and mystical schools and is based upon the idea that there is a universal form of religion that transcends confessional boundaries. What distinguished Pike’s work from similar books is its very eclectic nature and the author’s frequent references to “pagan” sources.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter follows a suggestion, by Onora O’Neill, that Kant’s notion of autonomy should be interpreted neither in an anarchic “radical existentialist” way nor in terms of an authoritarian “panicky metaphysics.” It also develops her suggestion, in reacting to Iris Murdoch’s critique of Kant as anarchic and “Luciferian” in a bad Sartrian sense, that there is a way to read Sartre as, in part, a good Kantian. The chapter offers an extensive defense of Sartre’s “Existentialism as a Humanism” as a sensible existentialist version of Kantian ethics, and it also notes positive ethical connections between Milton and Kant. Empirical and transcendental notions of choice, and their “all or nothing” and “degree” aspects, are distinguished, and this distinction is used to vindicate Kant’s notion of freedom as also metaphysical but not in a “panicky” way.

Abstract:
The electronic whole blood aggregometer (WBA) has the advantage that it enables the study of platelet aggregation in whole blood shortly after blood collection. Using the WBA varying results have been obtained with respect to the anti-aggregating activity of dipyridamole. As dipyridamole is an efficient inhibitor of adenosine uptake, we tested whether the degree of red blood cell lysis (and thus availability of adenine nucleotides) affected its efficacy. Citrate (10.7 mM) blood was stored in sealed tubes and used between 20 and 100 min after venipuncture. One ml was placed in a Chronolog Model 540 WBA together with 10 μl 0.9 % NaCl, dipyridamole (final conc. 3, 10 or 30 μM) or its solvent (final conc. 0.03, 0.1 or 0.3 %). After reaching a stable baseline and WBA calibration, aggregation was induced by injection of 10 μM ADP dissolved in 10 μl 0.9 % NaCl (one channel) or 10 μl distilled water (other channel). Maximum impedance increase in 10 min was measured, red blood cells were removed by centrifugation, and from microhematocrit and absorbance at 416 nm the volume of lysed packed red blood cells was estimated. ADP caused aggregation (12.9 ± 1.9 and 11.1 ± 0.8, Ohm) and there was red blood cell lysis (2.8 ± 0.5 and 0.8 ± 0.2 μl red blood cells, ADP resp. in H20 and 0.9 % NaCF, n = 6). Dipyridamole (30 μM) suppressed aggregation when compared with solvent, but only when ADP was given in H20 (reduction resp. 4.4 ± 1.4 and 1.9 ± 1.6 ohm). Moreover, there was a negative correlation between the degree of haemolysis and the aggregation response at 10 as well as 30 μM dipyridamole. This reduced aggregation with increasing haemolysis was not observed in the presence of the corresponding solvent concentrations. The red blood cell lysis was proportional to the plasma ATP (luciferine-luciferase method) concentration as an index of adenine nucleotide leakage. In conclusion, a certain degree of haemolysis caused by stirring and injection with a microsyringe is inherent to the WBA, but use of hypotonic vehicles should be avoided. Release of red blood cell constituents may affect platelet aggregation as such, or interfere with the activity of adenosine uptake inhibitors and possibly other drugs. It may help to explain some of the variable results obtained with dipyridamole.
