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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Euglena gracilis, often regarded as a 'superfood,' is a promising microalga with many health and nutritional benefits. In a recent study, researchers found an efficient and low-resource approach to ...

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 ...

The researchers discovered that strong red-light irradiation triggered a reddening reaction in E. gracilis when cultured in bonito stock medium. This indicates that the carotenoids are present at a ...
