[Bioscience and Biotechnology Course ]
The luminous moss (Schistostega pennata), which is known as its green luminous reflection, is rarely found in the cave of mountainside. It is on the verge of extinction by the effect of environmental disruption. We have successfully cultured the luminous moss in vitro (patent application, 2005). The photograph shows green fluorescence of the cultured luminous moss.
