says some algae can grow in the dark using sugar or starch, also called heterotrophic growth. Hann is working with university Chemical and Environmental Engineering Professor Robert Jinkerson to ...

Many store different sugars, like the green algae which store starch and specialized derivatives, and the blue-greens that store glycogen, while others have moved away from storing sugars entirely.

Researchers from two laboratories in northern France have successfully vaccinated and protected mice by feeding them starch derived from green algae and genetically modified to carry vaccine proteins.
