Can clay particles, ozone, or phages stop the algae bloom that is killing wildlife and posing a health risk to humans?

The British Phycological Society declares the winners of a photography contest for images of algae.

Not only did many corals die in recent years, but some were actually killed by the hotter temperatures themselves, rather than bleaching.

Volvox barberi actively organize themselves into large colonies that optimize space.

The finding could lead to a new way of producing “green” alternatives to fossil fuels.

Soluble adenylyl cyclase measures and responds to pH changes in coral cells, but whether it can help the animals withstand ocean acidification is not yet known.
