Scientists at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder have discovered that a type of single-celled organism living in modern-day oceans may have a lot in common with life forms that existed billions of years ago—and that fundamentally transformed Earth.

Scientists have been studying cyanobacteria and its many potential applications for decades, from cutting CO2 emissions to creating a substitute for oil-based plastics, but there wasn’t a deep understanding of the full life cycle and metabolism of specialized compartments within these common bacteria – until now.

In a study published today, a team at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder took advantage of a new microscopic technique to follow the lives of individual bacteria as they grew and divided in complex colonies.
