The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall: When water is scarce, the cell and cell wall shrinks; when water becomes available again, ...

These adaptations ultimately gave rise to plants. "These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae.

This is a magnified image of the structure of the cell wall of a diatom from marine sediment collected ... Biology in the background Diatoms are microscopic single-celled algae that live in fresh ...

The team led by Junior Professor Dr. Anzhela Galstyan aims to remove these chemicals using algae. "Diatoms are microscopic single-celled organisms that live in water and possess a cell wall made ...

Our work is centered on the cell wall and associated extracellular polymers of algae. We are interested in what these algal extracellular matrices can tell us about: 1) the evolution of the land plant ...

Scientists who study a family of green algae that includes unicellular Chlamydomonas ... multiple cells that remain associated following cell division. But while plant and animal species generate ...
