RE: Pretty blue rings of death, the bacterial basis for the octopus's venom

Cool stuff. This reminds me of the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid which harbors bio luminescent bacteria that help it glow. I wonder if other intersting squid/bacteria or octopus/bacteria symbioses exist.

@tking77798 Not just those squid. You can actually take advantage of this to culture your own Vibrio. I'd be surprised if there weren't lots of symbioses we don't realize.
