Bioluminescence occurs in multifarious organisms ranging from marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria, dinoflagellates and terrestrial arthropods such as fireflies.

2025年4月5日 · bioluminescence, emission of light by an organism or by a laboratory biochemical system derived from an organism. It could be the ghostly glow of bacteria on decaying meat or fish, the shimmering radiance of protozoans in tropical seas, or the flickering signals of fireflies.

2023年10月19日 · Bioluminescent dinoflagellates are a type of plankton —tiny marine organisms that can sometimes cause the surface of the ocean to sparkle at night. Some bioluminescent organisms do not synthesize luciferin.

2024年11月12日 · Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms. This natural phenomenon results from biochemical reactions and occurs in a variety of organisms, from deep-sea fish to terrestrial fungi.

2023年3月17日 · When you hear the word bioluminescence, do you think of glowing ocean waves under a dark sky? Many do. But, bioluminescence includes all life that – through a chemical reaction – emits light. In...

2024年6月16日 · Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Bioluminescent creatures are found throughout marine habitats, from the ocean surface to the deep seafloor. The light emitted by a bioluminescent organism is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside (or ejected by) the organism.

2025年3月26日 · The megamouth shark has a light-up mouth that scientists long thought was bioluminescent, but more recent discoveries revealed that the gentle giants were lighting up with the help of their prey—tiny plankton—and the greater brightness is actually the result of highly reflective scales around their (mega)mouths.
