A simple method to produce Synechocystis PCC6803 biofilm under laboratory conditions for electron microscopic and functional studies.

Cyanobacteria can form biofilms in nature, which have ecological roles and high potential for practical applications. In order to study them we need biofilm models that contain healthy cells and can withstand physical manipulations needed for structural studies. At present, combined studies on the s...
