Abstract

The results of the analysis of the dynamics of the bioluminescence of the luminous bacteria Photobacterium phosphoreum IMB-7071 under optimal growth conditions are presented. A quasi-harmonic character of bacterial bioluminescence was revealed. The observed periods of these changes have similar values to the previously established periods of the changes in the physicochemical properties of water. Correlations between biorhythms and the quasi-harmonic character of the physicochemical properties of water are discussed.
