Meanwhile, many firefly species also produce unpleasant tasting, toxic, defensive chemicals like lucibufagins.

与此同时，许多萤火虫物种还会分泌如类固醇等苦涩有毒的防御自卫的化学物质。

Luciferin molecules react with oxygen to absorb energy and finally release it as light.

分子与氧发生反应，吸收能量并最终以的形式释放出来。

Although different forms of luciferin can produce different colors of light, marine organisms emit blue light.

虽然不同形式的可以产生不同颜色的，但海洋生物发出的是蓝。

Now researchers have engineered a modified luciferase-luciferin pair that glows up to 1,400 times brighter.

现在研究人员已经改造了一对-酶，亮度提高了多达1400倍。

Luciferase is an enzyme and it breaks down luciferan and it makes this glow.

酶是一种酶，它分解并产生这种发现象。

Luciferase breaking down luciferan is actually make that glow.

酶分解的过程实际上产生了那种发现象。

It brings together oxygen and a pigment called luciferin to create light.

它汇集了氧气和一种叫做的色来产生。

Next question. Luciferin and luciferase are present in what biological phenomenon?

下一题 和萤酶出现在哪种生物现象中？

When luciferin is exposed to oxygen, a chemical reaction, aided by an enzyme called luciferase, emits light.

当接触氧气时，在名为酶的酶的催化下，发生化学反应并释放出芒。
