This chapter deals with the basic bioluminescence reactions, emission
maxima, and colour of light in pelagic and deep-sea bioluminescent organisms,
luciferins of planktonic organisms, types of intrinsic bioluminescence such as
coelenterazine-based light production and cypridina luciferin-based light production,
and extrinsic bioluminescence.
Keywords: Cypridina Luciferin, Emission Maxima, Extrinsic Bioluminescence, Intrinsic Bioluminescence Coelenterazine, Luciferin.
