Bioluminescent organisms are a target for many areas of research. Luciferase systems are widely used in the field of genetic engineering as reporter genes (see green fluorescent protein, and picture left). In January of 2006, researchers in Taiwan announced that they had genetically engineered bioluminescent adult pigs by fusing genetic information from jellyfish with a pig embryo

Bioluminescent organisms are a target for many areas of research. Luciferase systems are widely used in the field of genetic engineering as reporter genes (see green fluorescent protein, and picture left). In January of 2006, researchers in Taiwan announced that they had genetically engineered bioluminescent adult pigs by fusing genetic information from jellyfish with a pig embryo. As of January 2006, the three male pigs, the product of 265 genetically engineered embryos implanted in eight females, were three months old. This research builds on previous research ...

Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism as the result of a chemical reaction during which chemical energy is converted to light energy. The name originates from the Greek bios for "living" and the Latin lumen "light". Bioluminescence may be generated by symbiotic organisms carried within a larger organism. It is generated by an enzyme-catalyzed chemoluminescence reaction, wherein a luciferin (a kind of pigment) is oxidised by a luciferase (a kind of enzyme). Adenosine triphosphate (AT ... Including:

* Encyclopedia II - Bioluminescence - Characteristics of the phenomenon

Bioluminescence is a form of luminescence, or "cold light" emission; less than 20% of the light is generated by thermal radiation. It should not be confused with fluorescence, phosphorescence or refraction of light. 90% of deep sea marine life is estimated to produce bioluminescence in one form or another. Most marine light-emission belongs in the blue and green light spectrum, the wavelengths that have the most powerful penetrating power in ...

There are four main accepted theories for the evolution of bioluminescent traits: Camouflage Attraction Repulsion Communication Bioluminescence - Camouflage. Bioluminescence - Attraction. Bioluminescence is used as a lure to attract prey by several deep sea fish such as the anglerfish. A dangling appendage that extends from the head of the fish attracts small animals to within striking distance ...

All cells produce some form of bioluminescence within the electromagnetic spectrum, but most is neither visible nor noticeable to the naked eye. Every organism's bioluminescence is unique in wavelength, duration, timing and regularity of flashes. Below follows a list of organisms which have been observed to have visible bioluminescence. Bioluminescence - Non-marine organisms. certain arthropods fireflies glow worms railroad worms certain centipedes certain ...
