For 10 points, name this phenomenon where living organisms, such as anglerfish and fireflies, produce light.
A molecule that causes this phenomenon was synthesized from 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole by White in 1965. In dinoflagellates, cytoplasmic bodies called scintillons carry the enzyme necessary for this phenomenon. Imaging techniques based on it include BRET and BLT, and this phenomenon is regulated in V. fischerii by the lux operon. This biological property occurs when oxidized luciferin decays to a ground state, causing an emission of electromagnetic radiation.
