New pub! We studied how different #diatom species move combining experiments + simulations! We show how the morphology of the diatom affects its movement patterns that may contribute to niche segregation in a biofilm.
Plus, we did the first 3D tracking of their motion (using a healing crystal😂).

Delighted to see our work on #diatom motility published in @pnas.org !🎉

These abundant single-celled algae are responsible for a significant portion of the air we breathe yet often overlooked. Here we show how how diatom (raphe) shape impacts their gliding function... 1/3
