The Process Behind Bioluminescence
We are able to share the Ocean’s light with you by using bioluminescence.
The same natural process that fireflies, squid, shrimp and many other marine animals use to make light. Marine creatures’ bioluminescent glow is produced through the oxidation of a natural molecule called Luciferin by an enzyme called Luciferase. Luciferase is able to add oxygen to the antioxidant-rich molecule, Luciferin, to activate it to shine. Just like animals burn sugar for energy, bioluminescence burns antioxidants for energy in the form of light.
01
Luciferin produces light, and luciferase allows the light-producing chemical reaction to take place.
02
In this reaction, the luciferase acts as a catalyst.
03
The luciferase allows oxygen to combine with the luciferin.
04
This reaction produces photons of light.
05
And the oxidized luciferin becomes inactive oxyluciferin.
