A chromosome-level genome assembly for the paramylon-producing microalga Euglena gracilis [PDF]

Scientific Data
Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis), pivotal in the study of photosynthesis, endosymbiosis, and chloroplast development, is also an industrial microalga for paramylon production. Despite its importance, E.

Biochemical and Functional Profiling of Thioredoxin-Dependent Cytosolic GPX-like Proteins in Euglena gracilis [PDF]

Biomolecules
Unlike plants and animals, the phytoflagellate Euglena gracilis lacks catalase and contains a non-selenocysteine glutathione peroxidase-like protein (EgGPXL), two peroxiredoxins (EgPrx1 and EgPrx4), and one ascorbate peroxidase in the cytosol to maintain

<i>Euglena gracilis</i> Suppresses Cold Symptoms in Healthy Individuals: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
In this double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled trial, 8 weeks of Euglena gracilis supplementation significantly reduced the cumulative number and severity of cold‐like symptoms in healthy Japanese adults. These effects are likely attributed to the immunomodulatory action of paramylon, a β‐glucan contained in E. gracilis.
