A team of researchers shows that metaboly allows Euglena to crawl remarkably fast in narrow spaces. This feature could inspire new applications in soft robotics. Skip to main content.

The potential in your pond Date: August 14, 2015 Source: John Innes Centre Summary: Scientists have discovered that Euglena gracilis, the single cell algae which inhabits most garden ponds, has a ...

At first glance, it may seem hard to believe that the tiny green microorganism euglena, only 0.05 mm in length, has the potential to save the world. The single-celled organism, common to the ...

Using CRISPR/Cas9 to edit the genome of Euglena gracilis, Dr. Masami Nakazawa and her team at the Graduate School of Agriculture's Department of Applied Biochemistry produced stable mutants that ...

Euglena was founded in 2005, and the company’s name comes from the algae it has been farming commercially ever since. Euglena gracilis is a tiny single-celled organism with plant and animal qualities.

Euglena cells are unicellular organisms that spend most of their time on swimming by beating their flagellum. Sometimes, Euglena performs harmoniously coordinated cell body deformation, in a ...

He was particularly struck by the behaviour of Euglena cells. These unicellular organisms spend most of their time doing what most of their peers do: swim by beating their flagellum. However, on ...
