Researchers have successfully cultivated microalgae aboard the International Space Station to study their genetic stability.

Every day, viruses kill an estimated 10 to 40 percent of the microbes in the ocean, a process known as the viral shunt. When a virus bursts its host cell, the cell’s contents spill into the s ...

Lichens colonize trees and rocks all over the world. They are symbiotic communities between fungi and photosynthetically ...

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, ...

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 ...

The researcher team, from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham university in Coimbatore, India, sandwiched macroalgae between a carbon-coated copper electrode and a titanium oxide-coated fluorine-doped tin ...

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 ...
