We have been endeavoring to batch culture a donation culture of a Pyrocystis fusiformis, and to maximize the expression of their bioluminescent properties.
Pyrocystis fusiformis is a large, unicellular, bioluminescent algae and they glow quite strongly when agitated mechanically or chemically.
Originally I was using a desktop lamp controlled by a mechanical timer, but the dinos didn’t seem to like the cold <15 deg C they have since been moved indoors to a better temp range (19-25 deg C)
