CAMBRIDGE, England, July 31, 2020 — No matter how small, organisms respond to their surrounding environment. A group of scientists at the University of Cambridge has shown that the light produced by ocean organisms is related to the stress their cells are under at the time. The team, led by professor Raymond Goldstein of the university’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, wanted to see how such organisms would respond to threats analogous to a predator or the pressure of a wave. The scientists modeled much of their research on work done by Michael Latz and his colleagues at the Scripps...Read full article

    bioluminescence
    Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon in which living organisms produce and emit light through a chemical reaction occurring within their bodies. This light emission is typically the result of a biochemical reaction involving the oxidation of a light-emitting molecule called luciferin, catalyzed by an enzyme called luciferase. Bioluminescent organisms can be found across various taxa, including bacteria, fungi, algae, marine invertebrates, and some fish. Examples of bioluminescent...
