Firefly Extract Worth More Than Gold
ST. LOUIS AP reports that the luciferase luciferin extract from fireflies sells for about 20 dollars per gram, 560 per ounce, far above gold. Sigma Chemical Co. official Richard Vogel notes two rare chemicals, lucifrase and luciferin, emit light when ATP is present, aiding cancer research and water quality studies. NASA and other scientists use the extract for discovery and sensors in space. Sigma employs youths across 15 states to harvest fireflies, paying on a sliding scale, with some seasons yielding up to 900000 fireflies for potential earnings around 3000 dollars.
