    Appl Environ Microbiol 78:2092-9. 2012
    ..Due to the nature of bacterial biology, cultivation, and ubiquity, this discovery may be of significant interest for both ecological and nanoscience endeavors...

    UMR 7766 CNRS, LIENSS Littoral Environnement and Sociétés, Universite de La Rochelle, La Rochelle, France
    FEMS Microbiol Lett 333:101-8. 2012
    ..Changes in colonies' colors (blue, violet, red, yellow, and green) were linked to cell density. These data indicate that iridescence is induced under conditions that mimic the natural biotope of C. lytica...

    UMR 7266 CNRS Littoral Environnement et Sociétés, University of La Rochelle, La Rochelle, France
    PLoS ONE 7:e52900. 2012
    ..Both gliding motility, and unknown cell-to-cell communication processes, may be required for the establishment, in time and space, of the necessary periodic structures responsible for the iridescent appearance of Bacteroidetes...
