- Is found in very low quantities in almost all oceans of the world in temperate or subtropical water, but are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep-sea life like the normal gut microbiota of marine animals.  | - Is found in very low quantities in almost all oceans of the world in temperate or subtropical water, but are found in higher concentrations in symbiosis with certain deep-sea life like the normal gut microbiota of marine animals.  | ||
- The bioluminescence of A. fischeri is caused by transcription of the lux operon, which is induced through population-dependent quorum sensing. The population of A. fischeri needs to reach an optimal level to activate the lux operon and stimulate light production.  | - The bioluminescence of A. fischeri is caused by transcription of the lux operon, which is induced through population-dependent quorum sensing.
