High-efficiency genome editing by Cas12a ribonucleoprotein complex in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolWe developed a genome editing method for Euglena gracilis using LbCas12a RNP complex. We achieved mutagenesis rates of 77.2–94.5% at two E. gracilis target genes. We also demonstrated targeted knock‐in and base editing in E. gracilis. Abstract Transgene‐free genome editing based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR ...

A protein-glucan intermediate during paramylon synthesis [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1978 A sodium deoxycholate extract containing glucosyltransferase activity was obtained from a particulate preparation from Euglena gracilis. It transferred glucose from UDP-[14C]glucose into material that was precipitated by trichloroacetic acid. This material released beta-(1 leads to 3)-glucan oligosaccharides into solution on incubation with weak acid ...

Biobased ionic liquids as solvents of paramylon
Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2023 Paramylon is a linear glucan produced by Euglena gracilis microalgae as water insoluble intracellular granules. Its macromolecular structure contains only B(1-3) linkages, resulting in a stable triple helix conformation and a high crystallinity. It is soluble in very few solvents such as DMSO, harsh alkaline or acid solutions and imidazolium ionic ...

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 733-750, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Although Strombomonas verrucosa has been the type of the genus name for almost 100 years, its lack of clear diagnostic traits has rendered morphological distinction from its congeners almost impossible. As such, a study was conducted combining previously unused morphological data (chloroplast characters) with molecular data (sequences of ...
