Vibrio Fischeri Bioluminescent BacteriaBioluminescence is an ability shared by creatures around the planet that allows them to generate light - in fact, 90% of life in the world's oceans possess this characteristic. Whereas most animals use it to help them find food, attract mates, and defend against predators, a marine biologist is harnessing bioluminescent bacteria to save one of Florida’s most precious and threatened ecosystems - the Indian River Lagoon. By mixing bioluminescent bacteria with sediment from the 156-mile estuary, renowned scientist Dr....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/bioluminescent-bacteria-combat-pollution-in-fragile-florida-ecosystem/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
