Thanks to the bioluminescent bacteria inhabiting its light organ, the vividly colored southern bobtail squid (Euprymna tasmanica) can glow in the dark. 

The Hawaiian bobtail squid (Euprymna scolopes) is a nocturnal predator with a light organ full of bioluminescent bacteria attached to an ink sac, which the animal uses to control the amount of light it releases.

Polymer changes color and texture in response to remote signals. 

A symbiotic relationship between squid and bacteria provides an alternative explanation for bacterial sheathed flagella.

To control their color displays, squid fine-tune the optical properties of light-reflecting cells by rapidly expelling and imbibing water across a tightly pleated membrane

Arciteuthis from disparate locations around the world are genetically similar.
