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 ...

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 ...

Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms ... They are simpler organisms without an organized cell structure and their DNA floats freely as a tangled mass within the cytoplasm.

"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 ...

While this structure has been seen in earlier studies of diatoms and red algae, its sequence wasn't determined until now. This study reveals significant details to deepen our knowledge of ...

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 ...

The structure determines how the light is reflected ... It takes huge amounts of seawater to get enough algae for solar cell production. Varying biological activity in the ocean also makes natural ...

“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 ...

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 ...

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