The results for A. filiformis are not shown since no significant effect of any of the drugs was observed on the kinetic parameters of light emission in this species. Means ± s.e.m. are expressed in seconds; values without s.e.m. are due to the fact that the same LT was observed for all repetitions. *P<0.01; N, number of stimulated aliquot parts.
