Ancient single-celled red algae that thrive in scalding, acidic waters are emerging as far more than specialized survivors.

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 ...

Algae are increasingly being explored as sustainable "living factories" that can convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into ...

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, ...

A research group in Australia has developed algae nanoparticles. The algae have been found to kill 90 percent of cancer cells in cultured human cells. Based on this success, the modified algae have ...

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 ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

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 ...
