HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Wilhelm Barthlott from the Nees Institute for Biodiversity of Plants, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, Department of Biology, University have published the research work: Superhydrophobic Terrestrial Cyanobacteria and Land Plant Transition, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: The studies provide data for an extremely water-repellent cyanobacterial biofilm of the desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Hassallia byssoidea which indicates a prokaryotic Precambrian (ca.
SUMMARY
In many land-living organisms, extreme water repellence (superhydrophobicity: surface contact angle of water droplets > 150◦ ) is one of the most prominent features. Superhydrophobicity was mentioned for the fern . . .
