Questions and Answers

What is bioluminescence?

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by living organisms through chemiluminescence.

Which colors of light can be produced by bioluminescent organisms?

Bioluminescent organisms can produce light in red, green, yellow, and white spectra.

How do Vibrio bacteria contribute to bioluminescence?

Vibrio bacteria can produce light in some bioluminescent animals, aiding their ability to emit light.
