Well, they've now taken that gene, that bioluminescent gene, and put it into mammal cells.
And by the way, the reason the kittens here are orange and these are green is because that's a bioluminescent gene from coral, while this is from jellyfish.
And in fact, right now in many states, you can go out and you can buy bioluminescent pets.
But just to try to prove that fact to you, I've brought along some bioluminescent plankton in what is undoubtedly a foolhardy attempt at a live demonstration.
So, if we could have the lights down and have it as dark in here as possible, I have a flask that has bioluminescent plankton in it.
So that light was made by a bioluminescent dinoflagellate, a single-celled alga.
It's what's known as a bioluminescent burglar alarm, and just like the alarm on your car or your house, it's meant to cast unwanted attention onto the intruder, thereby either leading to his capture or scaring him away.
For example, this shrimp releases its bioluminescent chemicals into the water just the way a squid or an octopus would release an ink cloud.
And I think this is actually a shrimp that's releasing its bioluminescent chemicals into the water.
This is going to be a glowing source first, which is like bioluminescent bacteria.
If you were to descend into the 95 percent of the biosphere that's livable, it would quickly become pitch black, interrupted only by pinpoints of light from bioluminescent organisms.
Now green fluorescent protein, which oddly enough comes from a bioluminescent jellyfish, is very useful.
So this camera platform, which we called the Medusa, could just be thrown off the back of the ship, attached to a float at the surface with over 2,000 feet of line, it would just float around passively carried by the currents, and the only light visible to the animals in the deep would be the blue light of the optical lure, which we called the electronic jellyfish, or e-jelly, because it was designed to imitate the bioluminescent display of the common deep sea jellyfish Atolla.
Now, this pinwheel of light that the Atolla produces is known as a bioluminescent burglar alarm and is a form of defense.

In 2008, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work done on a molecule called green fluorescent protein that was isolated from the bioluminescent chemistry of a jellyfish, and it's been equated to the invention of the microscope, in terms of the impact that it has had on cell biology and genetic engineering.
This jellyfish, for example, has a spectacular bioluminescent display.
And advances in technologies based on waste-eating bioluminescent bacteria promise to illuminate our streets and factories.
