The comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, sometimes called the "sea walnut," is a species of tentaculate ctenophores (stingless jellyfish). In both places it multiplied and formed immense populations. Evidence for de novo biosynthesis of the luminous substrate coelenterazine in ctenophores. Article Despite long-standing experimental interest in ctenophores due to their unique biology, ecological influence and evolutionary status, previous work has largely been constrained by the periodic seasonal availability of wild-caught animals and difficulty in reliably closing the life cycle.
