A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic ...

The Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology publishes original research on protists, including lower algae and fungi. Articles are published covering all aspects of these organisms, including their ...

Since eukaryotic algae (Archaeplastids) arose after the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA), the discovery of Qingshania, if truly algal in nature, further supports the early appearance of LECA ...

Qingshania was probably a type of photosynthetic algae and a relative of organisms like red or green algae and land plants, suggested Miao. Eukaryotic algae (Archaeplastids) emerged after the last ...

Apr 12, 2024 13:36:00 Nitrogen-fixing organelle 'nitroplast' discovered, a new discovery that will rewrite biology textbooks. Biology textbooks state that of the three main biological divisions of ...

Complex multicellularity evolved independently in various eukaryotic lineages, including animals, plants, fungi, and algae. This evolutionary leap of going from one to many requires organisms to ...

Research reported in Science has now shown that a eukaryotic algae carries an organelle capable of fixing nitrogen, changing what we thought about organisms that can perform this conversion. The ...

In recent years, Precambrian lifeforms have generated an ever-increasing interest because they revealed a rich eukaryotic diversity prior to the Cambrian explosion of modern animals.

In both single-celled organisms like prokaryotic bacteria and eukaryotic algae, oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules move by diffusion through cell membranes.
