to 30 minutes in darkness. I n the case of dinoflagellates, however, reports by several observers (Zacharias, '05 ; Moore, '08; Kofoid and Swezy, '21; Harvey, '52) suggest that luminescence is under the control of a type of diurnal rhythmic mechanis8m. This conclusion is based mainly on visual obser

## 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
## 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
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
A luciferin binding protein LBP involved in the bioluminescence reaction of Gonyaulax po/yedra was purified and used for antibody production. Luciferin bound to LBP is fluorescent and can be used as a marker in living cells, allowing the localization of LBP in cortical organelles to be visualized. I
