Photobacterium
Photobacterium is a genus of gram-negative bacteria in the family Vibrionaceae. Members of the genus are bioluminescent, that is they have the ability to emit light. Many species, including Photobacterium leiognathi and Photobacterium phosphoreum, live in symbiosis with marine organisms. Species such as Photobacterium profundum are adapted for optimal growth in the deep cold seas making it both a psychrophile and a piezophile.
