This study uses optical coherence tomography to image cyanobacterial colonies in 3D, revealing morphological features and their impact on flotation and light availability.

This study investigates how the size and shape of cyanobacterial colonies affect their vertical velocity, finding that larger colonies have irregular shapes leading to enhanced drag and a revised power law relationship.

The paper tests whether chromatic acclimation (CA4) provides a competitive advantage in light color competition among Synechococcus strains under different light conditions.

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus develops a dark-tolerant phenotype when co-cultured with Alteromonas, involving metabolic coupling and shifts in gene expression.
