A naturally occurring population of Euglena (Klebs strain Z) cells, with unusual biological clock properties, has been isolated. The photosynthesis reactions, which are usually controlled by the ...

Through genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9, researchers stably create euglena mutants that can produce wax esters with improved cold flow, making the esters suitable as feedstock for biofuels. News ...

TOKYO--The humble euglena gracilis is tiny, green and very strange: Part animal and part plant, the darting little long-tailed beastie can be found by the millions in nutrient-rich freshwater ponds.
