VibRio  produced   light   in  a  circadian  rhythm,  meaning   it  produces  more   light  at  night  Kme  than  during   the  day.   In   the   symbiosis,   vibrio   is  provided  with   food  and   shelter  within   the  squid,  and   in   return,  produces  enough   light   from  the  organ  to  provide   the  squid  with   the  camouflage  of   the  waters  surface,  and   is  also  used  to  aZract  prey.  The  bacterium  emits  a  blue-­‐green  light  at  the  frequency  of  490nm  (nanometers).
