Isolation and characterization of a motility-defective mutant of Euglena gracilis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Euglena gracilis is a green photosynthetic microalga that swims using its flagellum. This species has been used as a model organism for over half a century to study its metabolism and the mechanisms of its behavior.

Impact of spaceflight and artificial gravity on sulfur metabolism in mouse liver: sulfur metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Spaceflight induces hepatic damage, partially owing to oxidative stress caused by the space environment such as microgravity and space radiation. We examined the roles of anti-oxidative sulfur-containing compounds on hepatic damage after spaceflight.

Effect of Mercury Stress on the Growth and Lipid Content of Euglena sp. and Echinodorus palaefolius

Jurnal Biodjati, 2023
One way to reduce the adverse effects of the heavy metals mercury in the aquatic environment are using organisms to break down or convert toxic substances into non-toxic forms, either by phytore- mediation or phycoremediation.

Diversity, Community Assemblage, and Environmental Determinants of Phytoplankton in a Subtropical Transboundary Coastal River. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study examined spatial and seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton communities in the Dakatia River, identifying 37 genera across six major taxonomic classes, with Bacillariophyceae being the most dominant. Seasonal peaks in phytoplankton abundance and diversity indices indicated higher richness and evenness during winter, while multivariate analyses ...
