## Abstract The mechanically stimulable bioluminescence of members of the __Gonyaulax catenella__ group can be maximally photoinhibited by exposure to as few as 10^13^ quanta/cm^2^, a factor 10^4^ times smaller than that required for comparable photoinhibition in __Gonyaulax polyedra__ and all othe
## Abstract Mechanically stimulable bioluminescence and photoinhibition of sensitivity to mechanical stimulation in the marine dinoflagellate __Gonyaulax polyedra__ can be mimicked by a number of cations, proportional to the logarithm of their external concentrations. The data are consistent with m
In both photosynthetic (Pyrodinium bahamense, Gonyaulax polyedra, Pyrocystis lunula, P. noctiluca, P. fusijormis) and nonphotosynthetic (Noctiluca miliaris) bioluminescent dinoflagellates chemical stimulation can by-pass mechanical stimulation. The effective ions are Cat+, K+, NH4+ and H+. Other ch
