Abstract: "The addition of the 6 μm in diameter motile algae Pavlova lutheri to cultures of the marine bacteria Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis and Shewanella putrefaciens revealed bacterial tracking individual free-swimming algae. The marine bacteria travelled at up to 445 μm/s when tracking, up to 237 μm/s when not tracking and up to 126 μm/s in cultures without the algae." |
