It can sometimes be seen in warm, shallow bays or lagoons, but some bioluminescent algae can produce toxins harmful to marine life and humans ...

Evolving roughly 27 different times in the long history of fish, bioluminescence—the biological production of light—is one of the flashier survival tools used for luring prey, communication ...

In the world of bioluminescence, it’s common for organisms to get luciferin—the small molecule needed to make light—from their diet. Scientists have hypothesized that bioluminescent fish make their ...

However, instead of the display being in the sky, it's in the water in an area known as Bioluminescent Bay in Grand Cayman's North Side near Starfish Point. Also known as Bio Bay, this natural ...

New study shines a light on the mechanics of bioluminescence in the rare fish Vinciguerria mabahiss Date: March 26, 2025 Source: Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Summary: Evolving ...

Bioluminescence is widely used for in vivo imaging of nude mice. By conjugating luciferase protein to quantum dots, bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) turns these useful fluorophores ...
