Cell–cell and cell–surface interactions in an illuminated biofilm: Implications for marine sediment stabilization†
<p/> <p>Most wetted surfaces that are illuminated support a population of phototrophs. The marine sediment is no exception and there the major component of the microphytobenthic population is diatoms. These organisms are credited with stabilizing the sediment against physical disturbance...
