The results of recent work on the photon emission from three yeasts and a bacterium is presented. Both visible region and ultraviolet photon emission is observed; however, no luminescence is observed in the absence of oxygen. The visible region emission is attributed to excited carbonyl groups and excited singlet oxygen dimers formed during the decomposition of lipid hydroperoxides. Possible sources of the ultraviolet photon emission are also examined. The use of microorganisms in the study of ultraweak photon emission and its relation to oxidative, temperature and chemical stress is reviewed and the applications and (or) functions of this photon emission are also discussed.
