        abstract = {Bioluminescence is a fascinating biochemical phenomenon in which living organisms produce and emit visible light through enzymatic reactions. This natural process, primarily driven by the oxidation of luciferin catalysed by luciferase, is widely distributed across marine, terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems. While it serves various ecological functions such as predator deterrence, prey attraction, and communication, bioluminescence has also gained significant attention in chemical engineering and industrial applications. Recent advancements have enabled the integration of bioluminescence into biosensors, reaction kinetics studies, wastewater treatment, and nanotechnology, making it an invaluable tool in environmental monitoring, biomedical research, and sustainable engineering practices. This review explores the biochemical mechanisms of bioluminescence, its occurrence in nature, and its expanding role in chemical and industrial engineering, highlighting its potential for innovative applications in science and technology.},
