* ''"The term ‘luciferin’ derives from the Latin word ‘lucifer’, which means ‘light-bringer’. This appropriate description points out that the luciferin molecules are the key substance for the bioluminescence reaction. It is an organic compound that occurs in almost all luminous organisms and provides the energy for the light emitting reaction by being oxidized and promoted to an excited product state."''
