LCC’s Cyanobacteria Monitoring Team includes from left to right: Lindsey Carlson, Water and Science Program Coordinator; ...

A discovery in the deserts of Namibia, Oman, and Saudi Arabia has opened new doors in the world of geomicrobiology. Mysterious micro-burrows carved into ancient marble and limestone have been ...

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

In a recent study, researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they ...

Though tiny, cyanobacteria can form colonies called "biomats," which are visible to the naked eye. These biomats often appear as slippery green slime, commonly referred to as "blue-green algae ...

Research has shown that cyanobacteria colonies contain an entire microbiome of organisms that further enhance their ability to absorb nutrients. This makes them even more resilient and capable of ...

These animals hunted along the seabed, where colonies of archaic sponges grew on organic, mineral structures formed by the activity of cyanobacteria. The sponges added to these reef habitats by ...

This art-science collaboration looks at the microscopic ways cyanobacteria move, on an individual level and in colonies. If we study these organisms and their varied forms, we might discover ways to ...
