The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall: When water is ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

It also grows a type of bacteria called Arthospira, also known as blue ... micro algae, says its nutritional value needs more research. "Green microalgae [chlorella] have a very robust cell ...

“Green algae serve as a mothership,” explained Zhang. “They carry hundreds to thousands of nanoparticles loaded with drug molecules.” The researchers developed microrobots by chemically attaching ...
