Mostly-harmless (to humans) bacteria that release crude antibiotics in order to kill competing bacteria ... Now that's impressive. The glowing part is an amazing add-on, helping the symbiotic relationship with the parasitic micro-worms the bacteria live in/with.

I wonder if the chemicals produced by the bacteria could be synthesized and made into a useful medicine. Perhaps useful for immunocompromised patients?
