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, ...

For example, in 1928 Alexander Fleming found that mold accidentally growing on a Petri dish stopped bacteria from spreading. When purified, that mold makes the medicine penicillin, which we use today ...

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 ...

In an innovative study, a budding student fascinated by the word 'biomass' delved into the promising world of algae as a ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...
