Interrelations between epiphytic bacteria and macroalgae are multifaceted and complicated,
though little is known about the community structure, interaction and functions of those …

Flavobacteria, which can be found in marine environments, are able to grow in highly
organized colonies producing vivid iridescent colorations. While much is known about the …

Naturally occurring photonic structures are responsible for the bright and vivid coloration in a
large variety of living organisms. Despite efforts to understand their biological functions …

HCI designers increasingly engage in the integration of microbes into artefacts, leveraging
their distinct biological affordances for novel interactions. While in many explorations the …

Microbial communities live on macroalgal surfaces. The identity and abundance of the
bacteria making these epiphytic communities depend on the macroalgal host and the …

Macroalgae play a crucial role in marine ecosystems when they contribute to the global
primary production in the habitats formation, providing food and shelter to a range of aquatic …

Structural color is an optical phenomenon resulting from light interacting with nanostructured
materials. Although structural color (SC) is widespread in the tree of life, the underlying …

Iridescent color appearances are widespread in nature. They arise from the interaction of
light with micron-and submicron-sized physical structures spatially arranged with periodic …

Vivid colours found in living organisms are often the result of scattering from hierarchical
nanostructures, where the interplay between order and disorder in their packing defines …

Toxicity of algicidal extracts from Mangrovimonas yunxiaonensis strain LY01 on
Alexandrium tamarense were measured through studying the algicidal procedure, nuclear …
