Abstract
Some green algae use signal molecules generated by bacteria to colonise underwater structures like oilrigs and pipes. This was discovered during a study conducted by researchers from Sweden-based Umea University. The finding could have important economic implications: by blocking the molecules, it would be possible to prevent algae like the enteromorpha from colonising on the structures -- a phenomenon that has led to problems like increased friction for ships and degrading pipes.
