  2. Bioluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescence

    Bioluminescence is the emission of light during a chemiluminescence reaction by living organisms. [1] Bioluminescence occurs in diverse 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.

  3. List of bioluminescent organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bioluminescent...

    Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent dinoflagellate. Bioluminescence is the production of light by living organisms. This list of bioluminescent organisms is organized by the environment, covering terrestrial, marine, and microorganisms.

  4. Bioluminescent bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescent_bacteria

    Bioluminescent bacteria are light-producing bacteria that are predominantly present in sea water, marine sediments, the surface of decomposing fish and in the gut of marine animals. While not as common, bacterial bioluminescence is also found in terrestrial and freshwater bacteria. [ 1 ]

  6. List of bioluminescent fungi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bioluminescent_fungi

    All bioluminescent fungi share the same enzymatic mechanism, suggesting that there is a bioluminescent pathway that arose early in the evolution of the mushroom-forming Agaricales. [5] All known luminescent species are white rot fungi capable of breaking down lignin , found in abundance in wood.

  7. Biophoton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton

    They are non-thermal in origin, and the emission of biophotons is technically a type of bioluminescence, though the term "bioluminescence" is generally reserved for higher luminance systems (typically with emitted light visible to the naked eye, using biochemical means such as luciferin/luciferase).

  8. Bioluminescence imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioluminescence_imaging

    Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is a technology developed over the past decades (1990's and onward). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ when? ] that allows for the noninvasive study of ongoing biological processes [ 4 ] [ 1 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Recently, bioluminescence tomography (BLT) has become possible and several systems have become commercially available.

  9. Luciferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciferase

    Luciferase is a generic term for the class of oxidative enzymes that produce bioluminescence, and is usually distinguished from a photoprotein.The name was first used by Raphaël Dubois who invented the words luciferin and luciferase, for the substrate and enzyme, respectively. [1]
