= Scintillons = Scintillons are bioluminescent organelles. Marine dinoflagellates at night can emit blue light by bioluminescence, a process also called “the phosphorescence of the seas”. In the dinoflagellates, the reaction involves a luciferase-catalysed oxidation of a linear tetrapyrrole called luciferin

Composition
Dinoflagellates also contain a luciferin binding protein, or LBP
