“However, in the free state, these bacteria are generally found as filamentous green algae in fresh and brackish waters.”

“Some are herbivores, grazing on the filamentous algae covering coral reefs, and a few eat seagrasses and algae on reef flats.”

“Also, a mat of threadlike filamentous algae floating on the surface greatly increases the rate of water loss through evaporation.”

“Perhaps the most primitive structure unit was cablelike and reflected the filamented keratin macromolecule.”

“Single-barrelled micropipettes were made from filamented borosilicate glass tubing.”

“Note that, even at this early era, galaxies are clustered into filamentary structures, separated by empty voids.”

“The opening is urged to a closed position by resiliently biasing the filamentary members.”

“The tiny charged particles link up into chains, which go on to form filamentary networks.”
