Jan. 18, 2023 Old Yellow Enzymes (OYEs) were discovered in the 1930s and have been the subject of much research ever since. This is because these biocatalysts -- coloured yellow by an auxiliary molecule -- are ...
Sep. 2, 2022 Scientists use genomic data to resolve the phylogeny of zygnematophyte algae and pinpoint several emergences of multicellularity in the closest known relatives of terrestrial ...
Jan. 27, 2023 A new species of microalgae was found in water from a home aquarium. While analyzing DNA samples taken from the algae, researchers discovered Medakamo hakoo, whose DNA sequence didn't match any ...
Mar. 6, 2024 Scientists have discovered the gene that enables marine algae to make a unique type of chlorophyll. They successfully implanted this gene in a land plant, paving the way for better crop yields on ...
Apr. 5, 2022 Life on Earth runs in 24-hour cycles. From tiny bacteria to human beings, organisms adapt to alterations of day and night. External factors, such as changes in light and temperature, are needed to ...
Mar. 1, 2024 Researchers identified the proteins of a CO2-fixing organelle, namely, 'pyrenoid,' in the marine algal group Chlorarachniophyta and revealed various pyrenoid-associated proteins among algal ...
Sep. 22, 2022 Biologists have unveiled foundational new insights into the evolutionary steps these algae took to make their novel brown pigments, which are called ...
May 2, 2022 Although photosynthesis by algae is a key part of the symbiotic relationship it is not required to initiate symbiosis. The discovery adds to the little-understood relationship between cnidarians and ...
June 28, 2021 A new study sheds new light on the evolution of photosynthesis in plants and algae, which could help to improve crop ...
Mar. 30, 2021 Scientists have identified the protein that was the missing evolutionary link between two ancient algae species - red algae and ...
