The harnessing of light is one of the most remarkable evolutionary features of microalgae, allowing them to adapt and thrive in highly dynamic environments. In order to respond to environmental changes, these photoactive microorganisms have developed an intricate network of light-sensitive molecules, known as photoreceptors, that enables the cells to locate optimal areas for growth and photosynthetic performance. Under favorable conditions, microalgae colonize surfaces and form biofilms, which have substantial technological and medical implications. Notably, the adhesion of microalgae to su...
