The paper identifies a novel biomineralisation pathway in photosynthetic sea slugs that produces intracellular photonic crystals via the kidney, resulting in bright colored regions.

This paper identifies guanine-based multilayer structures as a common mechanism for structural coloration in nudibranchs across multiple species.

The paper shows that deleting the moeA gene in Flavobacterium IR1 changes structural color from green to blue and affects polysaccharide metabolism.

This paper develops an artificial symbiotic system between bacteria and algae to produce bulk bacterial cellulose in static conditions.

This study investigates how algal aggregates in hydrogels improve light distribution and biomass growth by reducing photoinhibition and increasing light penetration.
