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 ...

Evolutionary Journey: The Ancient Roots of Nitrogen Fixation in Eukaryotic Algae Proteins destined for the mitochondria or chloroplasts, or for the chromatophore of the amoeba, Paulinella ...

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 ...

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.

These tanks of photosynthetic algae could provide a source of cleaner air in cities where there is no space for trees to be planted. The "liquid tree" in Belgrade, Serbia.

The researchers put four types of microorganism, including algae, into a battery-like device filled with seawater. The microorganisms converted sunlight to sugar and then used the sugar to produce ...
