Bioluminescence

  • Bio-luminescence is the light produced by a chemical reaction taking place inside a living organism. Generally, bioluminescence is widely found in deep sea organisms.
  • This action occurs when the enzyme luciferase reacts with the luciferin compound to produce illumination in the presence of oxygen.
  • Many marine organisms such as sponges, jellyfish, insects, some species of fish, arthropods, echinoderms and unicellular algae exhibit bioluminescence either to avoid predators or to attract prey.
  • The most likely cause of the bio-luminescence incident in Visakhapatnam is algal blooms in dinoflagellate species of Noctiluca and Ceratium.
