Biofilm_RL29_Jennifer-Dewing (IMAGE) Oregon State University Caption Image from a lake in Southampton, UK. At the shallow end of the lake this bright orange slime collects along the edges of the water as a result of bacteria that oxidises the iron released from the ground water. The reflection in the water of the blue sky above balances the bright oranges and yellows of the slime. Image by Jennifer Dewing from the University of Southampton, UK.
