Photo of a seaside scene. To the left is ocean. To the right is a beach with much of it covered in feet deep mounds of red and brown kelp. Some houses can be seen in the background.

Mounds of kelp/seaweed at a hometown beach. These kelp mounds happen many times per year, after storms/heavy seas. Locals(including me), for generations, have used this kelp to fertilize vegetable gardens. Photo from a few years ago, in Sept. #Newfoundland #agriculture #kelp #algae #vegetables

Genes from giant viruses help polar algae survive frigid waters and harsh sunlight A prior infection may create lasting, beneficial evolutionary change in these hardy microbes

Tiny #algae living in the harsh conditions of the world’s polar #oceans may owe their survival to hundreds of genes borrowed from so-called giant #viruses. www.science.org/content/arti...

Making some #microfluidic droplets, that you can just about see being formed at the end with the help of the camera frame rate not being great 😅

Today I decided to focus on one small Oak tree near Abbotsbury hill-fort in Dorset - here are some of the lichens, liverworts, mosses and algae I found growing on its trunk and branches. Amazing. #lichen #liverwort #moss #algae #oak

✨ Driven by the #sustainability potential of #algae and eager to learn how to increase the market acceptance of algae-based products?

🚀 Then, our AlgaeProBANOS summer school 2026 is the place to be!

We are polluting the Rockies’ clearest lakes without even touching them High in the Rockies, researchers are discovering that wind-borne pollution and rising heat are fueling unprecedented algal blooms

"Algae feed largely on nitrogen and phosphorus. They’re supposed to be scarce in high-elevation terrain"

Feather algae, Caulerpa sertularioides at 11 metres' depth on ridge

Edible fresh latô (Caulerpa lentillifera) sold at a fish market in the Philippines

Did... did you know that the algae in the Caulerpa genus are unicellular organisms? Like... they consist of only one cell (with multiple nuclei, but still one cell)?
We discovered it only now, after seeing these species of algae so many times... incredible.
Unbelievable. Amazing.

#Algae #SeaTrivia

This Tiny Pond Organism Rearranges Light to Survive in the Shadows By packing ordinary chlorophyll into tightly coupled clusters, a freshwater alga extends photosynthesis into far-red light, revealing a structural workaround to one of biology’s energy limits.

Algae that reconfigures their chlorophyll to collect shaded light at the weakest wavelength.

Trachydiscus minutus. Don't you dare call it pond scum.
