| Comments |
"Light emission is tightly correlated with the cell-population density
of the bacterial culture in the organ, and this phenomenon is controlled by quorum
sensing. In the light organ the V. fischeri culture grows to extremely high
cell densities, reaching 10^11 cells per ml (primary source)." |
