In Coral Fossils, Searching for the First Glow of Bioluminescence

A new study resets the timing for the emergence of bioluminescence back to millions of years earlier than previously thought.

By Sam Jones

Bioluminescence is used throughout the animal kingdom, particularly in marine environments, to lure prey, startle predators and even act as camouflage in the surrounding light .

“We always say it’s light-limited in the deep sea, but there are a lot of organisms that produce their own light,” said Andrea Quattrini , a zoologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington.

The dazzling glow of bioluminescence is common in Octocorallia, also known as octocorals, a class of over 3,000 Anthozoa species including sea fans, sea pens and soft corals. The prevalence of bioluminescence in these sessile animals makes a lot of sense, Dr. Quattrini said: “They settle somewhere and they’re there.”

How long organisms have been able to emit light is at the center of recent research by Dr. Quattrini and colleagues. Their latest study, published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B , resets the timing for the emergence of bioluminescence back to about 540 million years ago, from the existing understanding that it appeared in small marine crustaceans 267 million years ago .

The researchers based their finding on recent octocoral evolutionary tree work, octocoral fossils and modeling to trace the ancestral past of the tiny organisms.

Bioluminescence is believed to have evolved nearly 100 times across history , caused by a simple chemical reaction, when a light-producing molecule called a luciferin reacts with an enzyme called luciferase.

“This ability to bioluminesce is giving these animals some type of survival or fitness advantage,” said Danielle DeLeo , the lead author on the study and a biologist affiliated with Florida International University and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

Dr. DeLeo was first captivated by the remarkable glow over a decade ago, while studying the impact of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on deep sea communities. Descending a thousand meters below the surface in a submersible, she recalled, “you look out the window and all you see is bioluminescence.”

Now she studies bioluminescence in a range of invertebrates — including deep sea shrimp that spew bioluminescent vomit — and for years has been interested in when this basic yet stunning form of communication first emerged.

Setting the stage to answer that question, in 2022, Dr. Quattrini and her former adviser, Catherine McFadden at Harvey Mudd College in California, who is also an author on the new study, revised the octocoral tree of life based on new genetic data.

In the new study, the researchers incorporated dated octocoral fossils to determine when branches on the tree diverged.

They then collected data on the presence or absence of bioluminescence in as many of those species as possible, pulling from previous research as well as their continuing work. From there, they used a series of statistical models to work back in time, over hundreds of millions of years, to calculate the probability of bioluminescence for each common ancestor on the tree.

Every iteration of the analysis landed them at the same conclusion: that bioluminescence first popped up in the common ancestor of octocorals approximately 540 million years ago, around the beginning of the Cambrian era.

This was just before or at the start of the Cambrian explosion , when a huge number of new, more complex species arose.

“Light-sensing had already evolved by then,” but not quite in the form of eyes, said Elena Bollati , a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen who was not involved in the study. “Predators weren’t really common before the Cambrian explosion either,” she added, “so this has interesting implications regarding the original function of bioluminescence.”

This work lends support to a longstanding theory that — because the chemical reaction underlying bioluminescence uses up oxygen — bioluminescence first evolved as a defense mechanism against the production of dangerous oxygen-containing molecules called free radicals. Glowing may have just been a byproduct but, as it turned out, a useful one.

“You can take care of oxygen and you can make light and you can perhaps deter predators or attract prey, and then you’re going to be successful into future generations,” Dr. Quattrini said.

Now the researchers are focused on a genetic test that, using just a small piece of tissue, will assess if an animal’s luciferase enzyme is functional, an indicator that it can bioluminesce. This technique will remove the need to collect an entire octocoral colony to physically test if it glows, said Dr. DeLeo, helping protect these creatures from the potential threats of oil drilling, fishing and other anthropogenic hazards.

How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Microbial communities have essential roles in ocean ecology and planetary health. Microbes participate in nutrient cycles, remove huge quantities of carbon dioxide from the air and support ocean food webs. The taxonomic and functional diversity of the global ocean microbiome has been revealed by technological advances in sampling, DNA sequencing and bioinformatics. A better understanding of the ocean microbiome could underpin strategies to address environmental and societal challenges, including achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals way beyond SDG 14 ‘life below water’. We propose a set of priorities for understanding and protecting the ocean microbiome, which include delineating interactions between microbiota, sustainably applying resources from oceanic microorganisms and creating policy- and funder-friendly ocean education resources, and discuss how to achieve these ambitious goals.

Background: Ability to restore male fertility is important trait for sunflower breeding. The most commonly used fertility restoration gene in the production of sunflower hybrids is Rf1. The localization of Rf1 on the linkage group 13 has been previously shown, however, its exact position, its sequence and molecular mechanism for fertility restoration remain unknown. Therefore, several markers linked to Rf1 gene, commonly used for MAS, don't always allow to identify the genotype of plants. For this reason, the search for new markers and precise localization of the Rf1 gene is an urgent task.

Methods and results: Based on previously identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at LG13, significantly associated with the ability to restore male fertility, two markers have been developed that have performed well after careful evaluation. These markers, together with other Rf1 markers, were applied for genotyping 72 diversity panel accessions and 291 individuals of F2 segregating population, obtained from crossing the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) AHO33 and restorer RT085HO lines. The analysis revealed no recombinants between Rf1 gene and SRF833 marker, the distance between Rf1 and SRF122 marker was 1.0 cM.

Conclusions: Data obtained made it possible to specify the localization of the Rf1 gene and reduce the list of candidate genes to the 3 closely linked PPR-genes spanning a total of 59 Kb. However, it cannot be ruled out that analysis of the candidate region in the genome of fertility restorer lines can reveal new candidate genes in this locus that are absent in the cytoplasmic male sterility maintainer reference sequence.

Keywords: Cytoplasmic male sterility; Fertility restoration; Genetic map; Molecular marker; Rf1 gene; Sunflower.

This paper extends the earlier research of the Golden Rule in the static case [2] to the dynamic one. The main idea is to use the Germeier convolution of the payoff functions of players within the framework of antagonistic positional differential games in quasi motions and guiding control.
