Light Emitting Beings
"When these bacteria are transferred to petri dishes, they are invisible. Within 24 hours they multiply exponentially and begin to emit a blue light . . .
The pale blue glow produced by these bacteria evokes an aura of the mystery of life in the remote depths of the ocean, where the vast majority of the ocean's organisms create their own light, and reminds us how little we really see and know of life on Earth."
