英文摘要：

Following the introduction on reactive oxygen species and superoxide, this review summarized the role of supe-roxide in bioluminescence, and elaborated theoretical and experimental research progress of super- oxide reaction in several different bioluminescent systems. The role of superoxide in bioluminescence was de- scribed in firefly, bacteria, fungi and dinoflagellate bioluminescent processes. The production, function and reaction of superoxide in bacteria bioluminescence was explained in details according to our recent study.
