it has been grouped with the “Protista kingdom,” that catch-all term for whatever organism does not fit neatly into an established category. One thing that makes euglena special is its ...

It also highlights the role of protozoa in ecosystems, their classification based on movement, and their adaptation to parasitic lifestyles, showcasing their importance in the animal kingdom.

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.

Author Kengo Suzuki was employed by the company Euglena Co., Ltd. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that ...

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 ...
