Glowing bacteria in Hawaiian bobtail squid cause changes …
2019年3月5日 · The Hawaiian bobtail squid is active at night in the shallow waters of the Hawaiian archipelago. It emits from its body the light produced by its bacterial partner to camouflage against moonlight and starlight. The animal modulates the bioluminescence output of its microbes in response to variations in environmental light, such as from cloud cover.

The Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) is a small but remarkable marine cephalopod that has adapted in extraordinary ways to its shallow-water habitat around the Hawaiian Islands....
A lasting symbiosis: how the Hawaiian bobtail squid finds and
For more than 30 years, the association between the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, and the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri has been studied as a model system for understanding the colonization of animal epithelia by symbiotic bacteria.
In the warm shallow waters off of Hawaii, the bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes (Figure 1), forms a unique cross-kingdom symbiosis with the bacterium Vibrio fischeri. The V. fischeri are sequestered within light crypts inside the squid and provide bioluminescence to disguise the squid’s silhouette from potential predators.
Bioluminescent bacteria coordinate signaling to colonize squid’s …
2023年7月13日 · Bioluminescent bacteria and the Hawaiian bobtail squid have formed a longstanding mutually beneficial relationship. How the bacteria coordinate their behavior to colonize the squid—through cellular signaling and cues from the environment—is detailed in new study led by Penn State researchers.
