## 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
