Therese Wilson, Hastings, , J. Woodland , Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology
This Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology scholarly article aims to convey interest in and importance of bioluminescence to lay readers by combining a broad overview of the chemistry and cellular control of bioluminescence with discussions of selected topics. Selected topics include: diversity of chemistries (bacteria, Cnidaria (Coelenterates) and Ctenophores, fireflies, and dinoflagellates), what determines the emission spectrum, cell biology and cellular control of luminescence, regulation of bacterial bioluminescence, and new perspectives. Links are provided to the full text and PDF version of this article; a subscription to Annual Reviews may be required for full-text access.
