How is the bioluminescence of a photuris pennsylvanica, a microphotus and a luciola lateralis produced? Can parastratiosphecomyia stratiosphecomyioides produce bioluminescence? Do juxtaglomerular cells play a role with it? Since most bioluminescent reactions involve luciferin and luciferase, does that mean some reactions involve an enzyme? These questions have been in my head for a while.

Answer:
Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. It is a form of chemiluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as in some fungi, microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria, and terrestrial arthropods such as fireflies. In some animals, the light is bacteriogenic, produced by symbiotic bacteria such as those from the genus Vibrio; in others, it is autogenic, produced by the animals themselves.
