Bioluminescence Have you ever experienced a light show underwater? No‚ you are right that is not and can not be actually lights with electricity‚ but is the notorious scientific discovery of bioluminescence. One of the earliest sightings was by Aniximenes in 500 B.C. where he described that the alluring light show as “glowing when he struck the sea with an oar”. People have observed bioluminescence countless times ever since. In the Mesopelagic zone of the ocean‚ which is about 200m to 1000m

Bioluminescence Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction. In this process chemical energy is converted into light energy. Bioluminescence can be generated by the organism itself or by symbiotic organisms carried within larger cells (Science Reference Bioluminescence). It is generated by an enzyme-catalyzed chemoluminescence reaction‚ where a luciferin is oxidized by a luciferase‚ and in most cases an ATP is involved. This

Bioluminescence is typically associated with dinoflagellates as a form of a chemical reaction that happens within those organisms and the product is light. Bioluminescence Imaging is similar in that it is a byproduct of light emission‚ however it has a greater importance than just giving off light or being a relatively interesting chemical reaction. Bioluminescence Imaging is a technology that has been developed recently in the last few years and allows for real-time analysis of diseases at the molecular

Do you ever go out to eat some seafood and see the fish that is served? Have you ever thought about the abundance; how much fish there is? And have you ever thought about there being a shortage a fish; seems impossible‚ right?

Bioluminescence in Fungi INTRODUCTION What is Bioluminescence? The current paper main focus is on bioluminescent Fungi but the basic features of bioluminescence discussed are common to all bioluminescent organisms. Bioluminescence is simply light created by living organisms. Probably the most commonly known example of bioluminescence by North Americans is the firefly‚ which lights its abdomen during its mating season to communicate with potential mates. This bioluminescent ability occurs in
