Bioluminescent Beings and Their a Brief Background Pyrocystis fusiformis will biolumenesce for its own survival. It will start to flash when it gets “scared”, which is pretty much any sudden or harsh movement. When the predators of Pyrocystis fusiformis start to graze on the bioluminescence algae it starts to flash brightly. This action spreads through the […]

Title/ abstract    (last to finish as a group) Algal Blooms Includes the question to be answered by the lab Can Pyrocystis fusiformis double its population in 7 days in a lab setting given a constant temperature and light. States hypothesis that is based on research and/or sound reasoning Given optimum growing conditions the alga content […]

Our group project started out with us wanting to experiment with the circadian rhythm of P. fusiformis our experiment objective was to see if the amount of light/dark ratio had an effect on the of bioluminescence. The usual light/dark ratio of P. fusifromus is 1/1; that is 12 hours of light with 12 of dark. Deciding […]
