Did you know? Marine bacteria such as Vibrio fischeri can form bioluminescent biofilms. These bacteria can form symbiotic relationships with hosts like the Hawaiian bobtail squid, and the glow can help camouflage the squid from its prey! @ukbiofilms.bsky.social #BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware
Sharing a beautiful photomicrograph of Trichormus variabilis, a nitrogen-fixing biofilm-forming cyanobacterium with long tangled filaments.🌀 Those eye-like structures made me feel "observed", a fun sort-of revenge from the microbial world.😯 #BiofilmCreate #BiofilmAware @ukbiofilms.bsky.social
