Most of these microalgae are just 10 micrometers across, about one-tenth of the width of a human hair. BUMP allows scientists to study how effectively the corals are producing sugars by measuring ...

The health benefits of microalgae aren't the only thing under Ongen's microscope. The group is also testing how effective the micro-organisms are at capturing the metals found in tailings ponds.

The microscope is already yielding new insights into the relationship between corals and the symbiotic microalgae that support their health, revealing for the first time how well individual algae ...

Microalgae are tiny protein-rich organisms found in both fresh and seawater. They typically contain essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, including omega-3, omega-6 along with omega-7 ...

Why we need to expand the search for climate-friendly microalgae As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilised yet promising resource. Date ...

Microalgae don’t directly produce biofuel – they produce lipids (fats). To make biofuel these fats must be converted through a process known as transesterification.

The spiders were coated in microalgae, which produced a substance that protected the 22.5 million-year-old creepy-crawlies from the ravages of time.

Sustainable and nutrient-rich, microalgae has been heralded as the superfood of the future – but with a bitter aftertaste, it’s struggled to hit the mainstream. One bio-designer has developed ...

Microalgae are widely used in products such as biofuels, nutritional supplements and cosmetics. A newly-described type has been found in a home aquarium – and it could prove to be particularly ...

“This microscope is a huge technological leap in the field of coral health assessment,” said Or Ben-Zvi, a postdoctoral researcher at Scripps Oceanography and lead author of the study. “Coral reefs ...
