| Lattice panels, wires, or rough surfaces give tendrils and holdfasts a place to latch onto. |
|
| Below them goatfish, wrasses and scorpionfish frolicked amongst the kelp holdfasts. |
|
| The algae were decapitated, clamped with vice grips at their holdfasts, and secured to the bottom of a unidirectional current tank with an ordinary house brick. |
|
| Crowns commonly have some length of column still attached, and holdfasts, less commonly recognized than crowns, also have some length of column attached. |
|
| Heavy grazing may damage and weaken the holdfasts which anchor the algae. |
|
| They usually use sponges, seaweeds, mangrove plant roots and artificial substrates as holdfasts. |
|
| From the holdfasts rise stalks, and from them grow fronds buoyant with carbon dioxide-filled bubbles called pneumatocysts. |
|
| Sphenothallus may have been equally happy in normal marine conditions, where traces of holdfasts have also been observed. |
|
| Messersmith coated the pillar with a thin layer of a different synthetic polymer, developed in his labs, that mimics the wet adhesive proteins found in mussel holdfasts. |
|
| And Ivy divided from the root, we have observed to live some years, by the cirrous parts commonly conceived but as tenacles and holdfasts unto it. |
