Restoration of the structure of a colony
The following video shows in 10x time-lapse a Bacillaria paxillifer colony attached to the substrate at both ends. The relative displacements of the diatoms exert a force on the colony that has already disrupted the structure. The parallel arrangement of the diatoms is achieved again after some time.
