Scientists have spent decades genetically modifying the bacterium Escherichia coli and other microbes to convert carbon dioxide into useful biological products. Most methods require additional carbon ...
Tiny, sun-powered organisms found in freshwater pools could soon fuel Hawaiʻi's sustainable future. Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa are charting a path to transform microalgae into a ...
A globally distributed single-celled organism that occurs in harmful algal blooms has been found to exhibit an unusual organisation of photosynthesis. Researchers have taken a closer look at the ...
Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool called LA⁴SR that can rapidly identify previously overlooked proteins in microalgae - tiny organisms that produce ...
Microalgae are microscopic photosynthetic organisms that inhabit marine and freshwater environments including seas, rivers, and lakes. Interest in their commercial and nutritional applications has ...
ABBEVILLE — Allen McLain Jr., a rice and crawfish farmer in Abbeville, is working with an LSU researcher, Naohiro Kato, to explore growing microalgae. While saltwater from the Gulf can kill rice, ...
A research team led by food science and human nutrition professor Yong-Su Jin combined the special attributes of E. coli with the photosynthetic capabilities of microalgae to take in carbon dioxide ...
Cross-section of a cell of the microalga Prorocentrum cordatum. The nucleus with the chromosomes is on the right. A single barrel-like chloroplast takes up 40 percent of the cell volume. What are the ...
