Vertical Migration Optimizes Photosynthetic Efficiency of Motile Cyanobacteria in a Coastal Microbial Mat
Microbial mats are diverse and stratified microbial biofilm communities characterized by steep gradients in light, temperature and chemical parameters. Their high optical density creates a competition for light among phototrophic microalgae and bacteria residing in the uppermost mat layers. Strategi...
