Bioluminescence is the natural phenomenon where living organisms produce and emit light, often through biochemical reactions involving luciferin and luciferase enzymes. This captivating ability is found in various species, including fireflies, certain fungi, and deep-sea creatures, serving purposes such as attracting mates, deterring predators, and luring prey. The mesmerizing glow can manifest in different colors, predominantly blue and green, and has inspired scientific research for applications in medicine, environmental monitoring, and biotechnology.
