Effects of Algae β‐Glucan Supplementation on the Performance and Intestinal Immune System of Healthy Weaned Piglets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 642-654, September 2026.
ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...

The photoreceptor protein of Euglena gracilis

FEBS Letters, 2000
We isolated the photoactive protein Erh, isolated from the photoreceptor of the unicellular photosynthetic flagellate Euglena gracilis. It is a 27 kDa protein with a photocycle resembling that of sensory rhodopsin, but with at least one stable intermediate.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Making fish oils in plants: from alpha to omega

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1013-1018, August 2026.
Schematic representation of the biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sequential transgene‐encoded activities required to convert endogenous fatty acids to the longer chain polyunsaturated forms of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are shown in red.

Biosynthesis of Sciadonic Acid Derived from Gymnosperms with Anti‐Colitis Activity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
This study establishes an efficient Yarrowia lipolytica platform for unusual sciadonic acid (SCA) production and assess the anti‐colitis efficacy in mice of SCA, supporting its potential as a novel therapeutic lipid. ABSTRACT Sciadonic acid (SCA), Δ5‐unsaturated fatty acid with anti‐inflammatory and lipid‐regulatory properties, is predominantly derived

Peroxidative Activity in Euglena gracilis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1975
Cell-free homogenates of Euglena gracilis contain very low levels of catalase activity as compared to higher plants and some other algae. Purified Euglena cytochrome c acts catalytically as a peroxidase. The observed catalytic activity of cytochrome c in extracts from heterotrophically grown cells was more than enough to account for the observed rates ...

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

Engineered probiotics platform for resolvin E1 biosynthesis confers protection against inflammatory disease

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
An engineered EcN‐RvE1 probiotic platform enables sustained biosynthesis of the pro‐resolving mediator RvE1 via inducible COX2/5‐LOX expression. Oral administration achieves long‐term intestinal persistence and systemic anti‐inflammatory effects in murine models of acute inflammation and colitis, offering a promising oral therapeutic strategy for ...
