Uses of Bioluminescence:

While chasing fireflies on warm summer nights, children rarely ponder more than which way the next bug will fly and where to keep their new-found friends after catching them. The glittering, light-producing insects often fascinate children and adults, but people seldom understand the reasons fireflies flicker. Bioluminescence is responsible for the blinking bugs as well as flashing fish, glinting glowworms, and the shimmering spores of fungus. In order to understand fully the benefits of bioluminescence one must first understand its purposes. Bioluminescence benefits organisms, and synthetic varieties are used more and more to benefit humans. Some natural purposes include: attracting a mate, attracting prey, camouflage, deterring predators, and aiding in hunting. Scientists are using bioluminescent organisms to synthetically trace the ATP and calcium in the cell, to illustrate progression of infection, and to assist in AIDS research.

It is necessary to understand the true definition of bioluminescence (organisms giving off light for their own benefit) is necessary in order to distinguish between bioluminescence and similar phenomena. Biological chemiluminescence and iridescence are sometimes confused with bioluminescence. John Lee, from the Biochemistry Department at the University of Georgia, defines biological chemiluminescence as the light given off by biological processes that does not serve a purpose for that organism (414). An example of this would be the faint light produced when cells divide quickly, such as onion root tip cells undergoing mitosis (Lee 413). Since this resulting glow does not help the onion, it is not considered bioluminescence.
