A team of environmental engineers at ETH Zurich’s Institute of Environmental Engineering working with a colleague from the University of Luxembourg has found that the movement of individual gliding filaments of Trichodesmium and the way they interact with other filaments helps them to form aggregates. In their study, published in the journal Science, the group studied how samples of Trichodesmium in their lab reacted to environmental events such as bright light.
