A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

And this latest one won't be the last. Single-celled, microbial algae occur naturally in seawater all over the world. They ...

A new study overcomes this limitation by combining the photosynthetic finesse of a single-celled algae with the production capabilities of the bacteria E. coli. The new method differs from those ...

Algae that have lain dormant at the bottom of the Baltic Sea since 2,000 years before the Egyptians started building pyramids ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together.

Researchers are newly documenting a community of algae that hang around just under the ice surface using samples collected by divers. But climate change might threaten the algae — and the new ...

Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have ...

When the sun sets, the ocean comes alive with a whole new world of marine life. Here's what you can expect—and how to prepare ...

Algae could reduce nutrient pollution in wastewater at the ... 35 “We want to have something that works at the single cell level, something that detects the amount of the molecule that is produced … ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined biological environments. A team of researchers at the (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart has ...

Scientists have spent decades genetically modifying the bacterium Escherichia coli and other microbes to convert carbon dioxide into useful biological products. Most methods require additional carbon ...
