Tsukuba, Japan—Euglenids are known for their diverse nutritional methods, including photosynthesis, bacterial predation, and in some cases, animal parasitism. However, the documentation of parasitic ...
Figure 1: A micrograph of Euglena in water. RIKEN researchers have shown that it uses unconventional markers to determine which sections of genetic code should be ...
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. News ...
