The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine, and is the oldest scientific academy in ...

It sounds like science fiction. A business inspired by a manga comic that aims to help save the planet by turning a micro-organism into everything from superfood to jet fuel. And yet, as I sit across ...

This investigation was concerned with toxicity and bioconcentration of zinc and cobalt in three species of algae as reflected by growth inhibition, algal accumulation of metal, and percentage uptake.

Through genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9, researchers stably create euglena mutants that can produce wax esters with improved cold flow, making the esters suitable as feedstock for biofuels. News ...

Euglena is a microorganism, in some ways similar to algae. However, it is truly unique in that it exhibits feeding habits of both animals and plants. Such a fascinating biological specimen has left us ...
