Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction based on the oxidation of a substrate called luciferin (a light emitting pigment) by the luciferase enzyme, which results in energy emission in the form of light. This process requires six ATP molecules for each photon emitted. Applications include construction of biosensors for detection of pollutants and pathogens. It can be used to monitor genetically engineered bacteria released into the environment.
Biosensors are particularly useful in bioremediation studies in which they can be used to determine the presence, bioavailability, and concentrations of specific pollutants. Bioluminescence as an indicator of cellular metabolic activity can be used to monitor the biological activity and toxicity of pollutants.[1]

Description & mechanisms
This phenomenon is widely observable in nature: it is used by numerous organisms (bacteria, fungi, marine organisms) for different purposes such as reproduction and predation. It must not be mistaken with fluorescence, which comes from the restitution of an absorbed photon by an excited molecule [1][2][3]
