Bioluminescence Notes:
Bioluminescence is the emission and production of light by living organisms. This is a type of chemiluminiscence. This occurs widely in marine invertebrates and vertebrates, as well as in some microorganisms and fungi. Microorganisms such as some bacteria and terrestrial invertebrates such as fireflies produce light.
