Bioluminescence

Bioluminescence is a biological phenomenon in which a living organism produces and emits visible light as the direct result of enzyme-catalyzed oxidation reactions (typically involving a luciferin–luciferase system), primarily serving ecological functions such as communication, predation, and camouflage in the deep sea and other environments.
