| − | The bacteria are placed inside a translucent tube filled with water, they are attached to a strip of zinc that acts as an anchor for the bacteria, which also slowly consume the zinc. The surface area of the zinc controls the amount of bacteria that can grow and thus the amount of light that is produced. The bacteria also require a supply of carbohydrates, usually [[Manna]]. When the bacteria are cut off from the supply of [Manna]], they enter a dormant face. This can be used to turn WormLights “on” and “off.” | + | The bacteria are placed inside a translucent tube filled with water, they are attached to a strip of zinc that acts as an anchor for the bacteria, which also slowly consume the zinc.

[[Michael Jacobs]] turned himself in to government personnel in 1983 with the hopes of helping the relief effort. His entire body had begun glowing four years prior. [[Michael Jacobs|Michael]] worked with [[Section 26]] personnel to develop the first WormLight prototypes, which relied on glass tubes and sugar for carbohydrates. These lights soon went into mass production under government contract. |
