A VERY remarkable red-water phenomenon is at present observable in a small pond in Broad Oak Park, Worsley, near Manchester, just in front of the seventh tee on the golf course. The surface of the ...

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.

Part plant and part animal, microscopic euglena algae have been used as foods and bio-fuels. Now they're helping produce an adhesive that could be used in car manufacturing. The euglena-derived ...

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.
