I became interested in Prochloron in 1983/4. I was working in Bob Hoshaw's Algal Research Laboratory at the time, primarily maintaining his extensive collection of Spirogyra isolates. Robert W. Hoshaw Scholarship [1993]. Here's a photomicrograph I took of Prochloron at the time, which I'd collected at Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico:

Funny, just the other day I read in the Transhumanist Magazine that cyanobacteria could be used in future attempts to colonize Mars or the Moon as filters, air-purifiers if you will. Interesting stuff. And now enter prochloron which, as I understand, is closely related to these beneficient bacteria. I always had a verve for the scientific but I turned out a mad humanist. You are a rare and lucky man to have made the best of both hemispheres.
