The dialogue between protozoa and bacteria in a microfluidic device.
PLoS ONE, 2019 In nature, protozoa play a major role in controlling bacterial populations. This paper proposes a microfluidic device for the study of protozoa behaviors change due to their chemotactic response in the presence of bacterial cells.

Paramylon, a Potent Immunomodulator from WZSL Mutant of Euglena gracilis
Molecules, 2019 β-glucans, heterogeneous glucose polymers present in many organisms, have the capability to activate the innate immune system. Efficacy of activation depends on purity of the compound, molecular structure, polymerization degree, and source.

Metabolic quirks and the colourful history of the Euglena gracilis secondary plastid.
New Phytologist, 2019 Euglena spp. are phototrophic flagellates with considerable ecological presence and impact. E. gracilis harbours secondary green plastids, but an incompletely characterized proteome precludes accurate understanding of both plastid function and ...

Tomato EF-Tsmt, a functional mitochondrial translation elongation factor from higher plants [PDF]
, 2003 Ethylene-induced ripening in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) resulted in the accumulation of a transcript designated LeEF-Tsmt that encodes a protein with significant homology to bacterial Ts translational elongation factor (EF-Ts).

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.This study demonstrates the thermal expansion behavior of curdlan tripropionate films using thermal mechanical analysis and synchrotron WAXD. Both amorphous and crystalline films show characteristic expansion near the glass transition, providing structural insights for designing heat‐resistant polysaccharide‐based plastics.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Oikos, EarlyView.The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Euglena gracilis-derived β-glucan paramylon entrains the peripheral circadian clocks in mice
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 Paramylon, a β-1,3-glucan storage polysaccharide derived from Euglena gracilis, has various health benefits, such as anti-obesity effects and modulation of immune function. However, whether paramylon intake affects the circadian clock remains unknown. In
