May 3, 2021 New work unravels a longstanding mystery about the relationship between form and function in the genetic material of a diverse group of algae called dinoflagellates. The findings have implications ...
May 19, 2021 Among the large cast of microbiome players, bacteria have been hogging the spotlight. But the single-celled organisms known as protists are finally getting the starring role they ...
May 19, 2021 Researchers have more insight into salps -- a strange sea creature found in oceans around the world -- and what their presence means for the health of a marine ...
Apr. 15, 2021 Scientists have conducted a study that highlights the importance of studying a full range of organisms when measuring the impact of environmental change - from tiny bacteria, to mighty ...
Feb. 6, 2024 Researchers studied in detail the strange protist Meteora sporadica, which swings its two lateral arms back and forth. The results of the study indicated that M. sporadica has a complex cytoskeleton ...
July 14, 2021 Scientists have seen stony coral cells engulf dinoflagellates - single-celled, photosynthetic algae that are crucial for keeping coral alive. The researchers cultured endoderm-like cells from the ...
Dec. 7, 2022 Modern eukaryotic cells contain numerous so-called organelles, which once used to be independent bacteria. In order to understand how these bacteria were integrated into the cells in the course of ...
Oct. 5, 2023 Acoels have been found to host a wide diversity of symbiotic, photosynthetic ...
Dec. 19, 2023 Almost all eukaryotic organisms, from plants and animals to fungi, can't survive without mitochondria -- the 'powerhouses of the cell,' which generate chemical energy using oxygen. ...
Jan. 10, 2023 All chlamydiae today live inside the cells of hosts ranging from amoeba to animals. A team of scientists found that the ancestor of chlamydiae likely already lived inside host cells, but that ...
