Multicellular cyanobacteria do something strikingly sophisticated with their DNA, toggling key genes on and off as day turns ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, occur worldwide in many varieties, including in single-cell form and in chains ...

It’s not an exaggeration to suggest that the most significant event on Earth was the evolution of photosynthesis. The ability to harvest energy from light freed life from the need to scavenge energy ...

Cyanobacteria, a type of bacteria that performs photosynthesis, utilize a photosensor to maximize their light-harvesting capacity under different light environments. A joint research team found a new ...

Scientists are genetically engineering microbes to withstand industrial conditions for biofuel production. Researchers found ...

• Background and Aims Cyanolichens are usually stated to be bipartite (mycobiont plus cyanobacterial photobiont). Analyses revealed green algal carbohydrates in supposedly cyanobacterial lichens (in ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Scientists have developed a new "living" material. The left images shows a 3D-printed "pineapple" ...

New research reveals that nickel and urea once throttled Earth’s earliest oxygen producers, delaying the planet’s ...

Introverts take heart: When cells, like some people, get too squished, they can go into defense mode, even shutting down photosynthesis. In a study published today, a team at CU Boulder took advantage ...

Cyanobacteria, a type of bacteria that performs photosynthesis, utilize a photosensor that regulates green and red light-harvesting antenna proteins for photosynthesis. A joint research team from ...
