Seven Beautiful Glowing Organisms

1. Glowing Mushrooms (Mycena lux-Coeli mushrooms)

 

Japan during the rainy season, which began to glow Glowing Mushroom growing in Wakayama prefecture. Mycena lux-Coeli mushrooms sprout from fallen chinquapin trees and grow because of them, a chemical reaction that emits light pigment occurs, so that they are luminous pale green. Hats fungus that can grow along the 2 cm (about 1 inch) diameter, but because fungi are vulnerable to dehydration, they only have a few days to live after the rain stopped.

2. Hawaiian Bobtail Squid (Euprymna scolopes)In the darkness of the sea, some animals make their own light. Among them is the Euprymna scolopes, which formed a partnership with luminous bacteria, Vibrio fischeri. Squid at home this bacterial colonies in special light organs, and can control the brightness and direction of light radiation. These organs produce nerve signals when they feel light and loaded with protein to detect. lorgan effectively is an extra set of primitive eyes, each equipped with a "lens".

3. Alarm jellyfish (Atolla wyvillei)

 

Some animals use bioluminescence for assistance. Once an animal is caught in the clutches of a predator, hoping to be able to break away and attract greater attention. can attack and eat anything that will eat it. This shows the outside light commonly known as a "tool marks" screen. 

4. Jack-O-Lantern Mushroom (Omphalotus olearius)

 

Through metabolic functions and physiological, all living things produce. This fungus membesitkan waste through gills, and some waste that secrete enzymes. Enzymes commonly used for bioluminescence (or emission of light by living organisms) like lightning - lightning.

5. Luminescent Panellus (Panellus stipticus)

 

Panellus stipticus widely distributed, but more common in eastern North America than in the West. It is very difficult, and again after drying rain water outside, like many small Marasmius.Jamur species has been reported to be used as a styptic (blood thickening).

6. Ctenophore Bathocyroë

We probably know more about the surface of the moon from the sea that we do. Every day we discover new species. Because fragile, this is only described in 1978, when it was collected. This genus can produce blue and green luminescence.

7. Dinoflagellates 

Dinoflagellates are a large group. Most are marine plankton, but more common in freshwater habitats. They are characterized by two flagella, one girdling the cell and trailing the cell. Some dinoflagellates in corals, in a symbiotic relationship. Dinoflagellates called zooxanthellae. Other dinoflagellates, such as occurs at high red-colored water, a phenomenon known as red tide.
