This study uses RGB color indices to estimate symbiont cell density and chlorophyll content in corals under bleaching conditions, finding the Red index provides strong correlations across species.

The paper identifies ComFB as a new family of c-di-NMP receptors in bacteria, showing they bind c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP and regulate cellular processes like motility.

This study shows that a single MCP deletion in Shewanella putrefaciens enhances chemotaxis in structured environments with minimal metabolic cost.
