Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, ...

New research shows how a small group of single-celled algae are able to use chemical cues to communicate stress information. Understanding this ability, once thought unique to plants, helps illuminate ...

A globally distributed single-celled organism that occurs in harmful algal blooms has been found to exhibit an unusual organisation of photosynthesis. Researchers have taken a closer look at the ...

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

Diagram of the study’s methodology shows the conversion of elementary fluorescence kinetics (from reference dataset) into a NPQ score space. Wild-type kinetics can be mapped in this space to reveal ...
