How does light structure microbial mats? To explore this, we studied #Cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota from hot springs. Using simple synthetic communities, we found that they cooperate, forming stronger #biofilms and moving further together. PNAS paper: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

So glad to see this work led by the fantastic Freddy Bunbury published in PNASNews! #Cyanobacteria, and #Chloroflexota from hot springs ♨️ teaming up to chase the light!☀️

Absolutely thrilled be awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoc Fellowship to work at the algaeFamLAB | TheChlamyLab at UCO with Alexandra Dubini and the rest of the Fam to advance our understanding of algal #symbiosis for sustainable solutions! 🌱🔬🧬 Huge thanks to everyone who supported me on this journey!!💚✨

Excited to share our latest publication: Blue-light perception via phototropin controls carbon metabolism in the green microalga Chlamydomonas by regulating starch accumulation. Check it out here! rdcu.be/edCzv
