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

There are no fossils of the algae. Instead, Brocks and his team at the Australian National University, have tracked down molecular remnants of their cell walls, molecules closely related to the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Bakeries and wineries can't do without yeast, but they have no need for green algae. Wastewater treatment facilities, however ...

Researchers have discovered that the combination of green algae and yeast enhances the efficiency of wastewater treatment.

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 ...

Scientists create solar-powered animal cells using chloroplasts. Hybrid cells show enhanced growth and photosynthesis activity. Breakthrough may lead to sustainable tissue engineering.

Researchers in Japan have achieved a milestone in cellular biology by embedding chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, creating photosynthetic animal cells that survive and continue ...

The threat may be lower now as Las Vegas dips into the 50s at night, but protection the cold provides from algae is fleeting. “Some of those cells are going to go down to the sediment ...
