Even without membranes and walls to divide ... This gives algae the equivalent of knowing its head from its butt, allowing it ...

The three microalgal species have metal-binding proteins in their cell walls, and absorb heavy metals in water, reducing the ...

The species included in the study represent the most important evolutionary branches of the plant tree of life, from algae to vascular plants. The researchers' hypothesis was that growth form and ...

Our work is centered on the cell wall and associated extracellular polymers of algae. We are interested in what these algal extracellular matrices can tell us about: 1) the evolution of the land plant ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, ...

It was once believed that cellulose was the structural material in the cell walls of all green plants. Now it appears that other substances are employed for this purpose in certain marine algae By ...

In the search for more sustainable uses of cellulose, scientists have developed a production method for a nanofibrous cellulose matrix, which has the potential to replace non-renewable industrial even ...

Scientists who study a family of green algae that includes unicellular Chlamydomonas ... by definition every multicellular organism possesses multiple cells that remain associated following ...

Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, allowing these animal cells to photosynthesize. Previously, it was ...
