The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae, developed by University of Queensland researchers. Our work shows muscle ...

Scientists suggest algae could be embedded within biosensors that glow when toxins detected in the environment ...

Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences.

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 ...

Researchers at Concordia University have unveiled a new, sustainable energy source that could power small Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This technology harnesses the power of algae to create a ...

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 ...

Cross-section of a cell of the microalga Prorocentrum cordatum. The nucleus with the chromosomes is on the right. A single barrel-like chloroplast takes up 40 percent of the cell volume. What are the ...
