BE IN AWE OF THE CREATION, THE CREATOR HAS SO MUCH MORE TO TEACH US! THANK YOU JEHOVAH GOD....GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS. ENJOY! Dinoflagellates, single celled bioluminescent plankton, photographed by Joanne and Naomi Paquette in Jervis beach; Australia, Fefo Bouvier in Barra de Valizas, Uruguay; Russ Taylor in the Florida everglades; Doug Perrine in the Maldives; Phil Hart in Victoria lake, Australia; and Lukasz Warzecha in the island of Mjorn, Sweden. Though the reason for this bioluminescence is still debated, varying from defensive purposes to communication to predatory strategy, the causes are now better known. As the dinoflagellates float, movement in the water sends electrical impulses around a proton filled compartment inside the microorganisms, triggering a series of chemical reactions which ultimately activates luciferase, a protein that produces the neon blue light. Most marine bioluminescence is in the blue and green light spectrum, as these wavelengths pass furthest through seawater. interestingly, no known fresh water dinoflagellates has ever evolved bioluminescent abilities.
