Enter the Euglena. An Osaka Metropolitan University team has found a way to have one species of this microalgae produce wax esters with shorter carbon chains than usual. The findings were ...

The film explores the origins and characteristics of protozoa, the first animals on Earth, which evolved from simple single-celled organisms. It discusses their size variations, locomotion methods ...

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 ...

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.

Genome editing of Euglena gracilis led to stable mutants that produced wax esters with shorter carbon chains, giving the esters properties more suitable for use in biofuel. News about biofuels ...
