Scientists from Japan find a simple method for cultivating Euglena gracilis, an edible microalgae with high nutritional and functional content Euglena (Euglena gracilis) is a microalga containing ...

Some species of Euglenids, a diversified family of aquatic unicellular organisms, can perform large-amplitude, elegantly coordinated body deformations. Although this behavior has been known for ...

Researchers from AIST have developed microalga-based bioplastics mainly from constituents extracted from Euglena, a species of microalga. This research and development have been conducted as part of ...

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 ...

At first glance, it may seem hard to believe that the tiny green microorganism euglena, only 0.05 mm in length, has the potential to save the world. The single-celled organism, common to the diverse ...

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, a simple, single-celled organism that grows in fresh water, trumpeted as a solution to food shortages, a potential replacement for fossil fuels and a way to reduce CO 2 emissions, has been ...

TOKYO--The humble euglena gracilis is tiny, green and very strange: Part animal and part plant, the darting little long-tailed beastie can be found by the millions in nutrient-rich freshwater ponds.
