La bioluminescenza è un fenomeno per cui organismi viventi emettono luce attraverso particolari reazioni chimiche, nel corso delle quali l’energia chimica viene convertita in energia luminosa.
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms and terrestrial invertebrates. Some symbiotic organisms carried within larger organisms produce light.
