🪼Aequorea victoria

Aequorea victoria (Murbach & Shearer, 1902)

Az Aequorea victoria, Kristály medúza, egy csendes-óceáni medúza. Különlegessége, hogy ebből a medúzából izolálták először 1961-ben a GFP fluoreszcens anyagot. A kutatásokért Roger Y. Tsien és Martin Chalfie amerikai tudós, valamint Osamu Shimomura japán kutató 2008-ban kémiai Nobel-díjat vehetett át. A green fluorescent protein, a GFP segítségével a medúza sötétben világít, ha kék fényt irányítanak rá.
