Bioluminescence Algae
👇
The algae's glow is actually a natural defense mechanism; the light flashes occur when the algae's environment is disturbed.
👇
Single-cell algae called dinoflagellates are almost always behind this kind of surface luminescence.
👇
The species is notorious for forming some of the most widespread bioluminescent algal blooms.
The chemical reaction responsible for this light energy has to do with a molecule, which produces light from the organism's body when it reacts with oxygen.
👇
Oxygen oxidizes the molecules, while luciferase accelerates the reaction and releases excess energy as light without generating heat.
