The Mitochondrion of Euglena gracilis

, 2017
In the presence of oxygen, Euglena gracilis mitochondria function much like mammalian mitochondria. Under anaerobiosis, E. gracilis mitochondria perform a malonyl-CoA independent synthesis of fatty acids leading to accumulation of wax esters, which serve as the sink for electrons stemming from glycolytic ATP synthesis and pyruvate oxidation.

Application of Euglena gracilis in wastewater treatment processes

BioTechnologia, 2022
Microalgae strains can rapidly remove biogenic elements, which contribute to the eutrophication of water bodies, from wastewater. In recent years, interest in microalgae strains has increased significantly.

Discovery of a parallel family of euglenatide analogs in Euglena gracilis [PDF]

Natural Products and Bioprospecting
The euglenatides are a family of hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptides produced by the unicellular algae Euglena gracilis. These compounds have antiproliferative activity against fungal pathogens and mammalian cancer cell lines. Analysis of E. gracilis

In Vivo Photocycle of the Euglena gracilis Photoreceptor

Biophysical Journal, 1997
We present the light-induced photocycle of the paraflagellar swelling of Euglena gracilis. The kinetics of this process was reconstructed by sampling its fluorescence emission and switching the excitation light from 365 nm to 436 nm. Stable intermediates in the photocycle were manifested.

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.

Dynamic LHCI antenna and inter-photosystem spillover enable flexible light harvesting in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement Euglena gracilis is an early diverging photosynthetic organism with a unique mosaic photosynthetic apparatus. Biochemical and spectroscopic analysis reveals a kinetically slower photosystem I sharing excitation energy with photosystem II in the absence of strict photosystem segregation.

Affordable CRISPR RNP-Based Genome Editing in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]

Curr Protoc
Abstract Genome editing can enhance basic research and enable industrial applications of green algae. Here, we present an affordable, broadly applicable workflow for genome editing in the unicellular green alga Euglena gracilis using Cas9 nucleases. This method retains high editing efficiency while significantly lowering technical barriers.
