How size and shape affect the vertical velocity of cyanobacterial colonies

Yuri Zeniti Sinzato, Jolanda M. H. Verspagen, Robert Uittenbogaard, P. Visser, Jef Huisman, Maziyar Jalaal

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.

Morphodynamics of chloroplast network control light-avoidance response in the non-motile dinoflagellate Pyrocystis lunula

Nico Schramma, Gloria Casas Canales, Maziyar Jalaal

This study shows how Pyrocystis lunula contracts its chloroplast network in response to light, using mathematical modeling to reveal simple rules governing its morphodynamics.
