The energy crisis of the 1970s sparked growing concern over minimizing fuel consumption
in water, land, and air transportation. Researchers fascinated by sharks' effortless swimming …

Bioluminescence is the emission of light by a luciferin/luciferase chemical reaction within
living organisms. There are 40 bioluminescent systems known across the tree of life, but …

The widely used coelenterazine-powered Renilla luciferase was discovered over 40 years
ago, but the oxidative mechanism by which it generates blue photons remains unclear. Here …

This review presents a synthesis of shark bioluminescence knowledge. Up to date,
bioluminescent sharks are found only in Squaliformes, and specifically in Etmopteridae …

Bioluminescence is the production of visible light by living organisms thanks to a chemical
reaction, implying the oxidation of a substrate called luciferin catalyzed by an enzyme, the …

Bioluminescence, or the ability of a living organism to generate visible light, occurs as a
result of biochemical reaction where enzyme, known as a luciferase, catalyzes the oxidation …

Bioluminescence, the ability of living organisms to emit visible light, is an important
ecological feature for many marine species. To fulfil the ecological role (defence, offence, or …

Bioluminescence, the mesmerizing natural phenomenon where living organisms produce
light through chemical reactions, has long captivated scientists and laypersons alike …

Abstract The European brittle star Amphiura filiformis emits blue light, via a Renilla-like
luciferase, which depends on the dietary acquisition of coelenterazine. Questions remain …

The marine mesopelagic zone extends from water depths of 200 m to 1000 m and is home
to a vast number and diversity of species. It is one of the least understood regions of the …
