that can turn nitrogen gas into a form that is useful for cell growth. The discovery of the structure, called a nitroplast, in algae could bolster efforts to genetically engineer plants to convert ...

This diagram illustrates how the microrobots get ... Once this happens, the tiny bots are released. The algae cells/robots proceed to swim through the colon, thoroughly dispersing themselves ...

"It's a member of the green algae, which are plants ... All of these structures are just one cell." "For many years, I've been interested in structure and form in plants, especially in tomato ...

These algae were thought to “fix” nitrogen ... have now shown that this bacterium has evolved into a new cellular structure, or organelle. It is the first known nitrogen-fixing organelle ...

Algae that live inside the cells of salamanders are the first known vertebrate endosymbionts Date: April 4, 2011 Source: Indiana University Summary: A species of algae long known to associate with ...

They aim to use techniques including 3D printing to create edible scaffolds using material extracted from algae and plants. These will be used to give structure to a product cultivated from fish cells ...

The team inserted chloroplasts from red algae into cultured cells derived from hamsters. The researchers examined the structure of the chloroplasts within the cells via several imaging techniques ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new algae-powered fuel cell that is five times more efficient than existing plant and algal models. Both cost-effective and practical to use ...

“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 ...

The researcher team, from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham university in Coimbatore, India, sandwiched macroalgae between a carbon-coated copper electrode and a titanium oxide-coated fluorine-doped tin ...

Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, ...
