Key Equations

$$\text{Luciferin} + \text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{luciferase}} \text{Oxyluciferin}^* \rightarrow \text{Oxyluciferin} + h\nu$$
$$\Phi = \frac{\text{photons emitted}}{\text{luciferin molecules reacted}}$$
$$\text{H}_2\text{S} + 2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{SO}_4^{2-} + 2\text{H}^+$$
$$\text{CO}_2 + 4\text{H}_2\text{S} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_2\text{O} + 4\text{S}^0 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
