Scientists have uncovered how cyanobacteria—Earth's first photosynthetic organisms—self-organize into intricate living mats, offering insights into aquatic ecosystems and potential inspiration ...

Scientists hope hungry black weevils imported from Louisiana can help tackle South Africa's invasive water plant problem.

Those weevils aren't tossed into the river by accident: scientists hope that the insects and their larvae will munch their way through the green mat ... known as cyanobacteria, which flourish ...

During the process, microbes and nutrients (carbon and sulfur) cycle throughout the mat in a well-orchestrated dance that moves in step with day and night. The purple cyanobacteria glide upward ...
