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.

New tools for Euglena: detection of paramylon and chlorophyll by flow cytometry

, 2018
Euglena gracilis is a single celled flagellate protist that has garnered industrial interest due its production of paramylon, a crystalline β-1,3-glucan which has been found to have numerous medical properties and potential as a beneficial source of dietary fibre.

A unique sessile loricate euglenid, Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Euglenophyta, Phacaceae), from South Africa: Evolutionary implications. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract In this paper, we describe Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Phacaceae), a sessile loricate euglenid that differs from all known loricate taxa by its unique combination of the presence of a lorica, monad morphology, sessile habit, and phylogenetic position within the Phacaceae. Populations of this species inhabit two turbid, silt‐rich waterbodies,

Paramylon and Other Bioactive Molecules in Micro and Macroalgae. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2022
Many algae synthesize compounds that have exceptional properties of nutraceutical, pharmacological, and biomedical interest. Pigments, fatty acids, phenols, and polysaccharides are among the main compounds investigated so far. Polysaccharides are the most exploited compounds, widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, which are at ...

<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.

Table_1_Euglena gracilis-derived β-glucan paramylon entrains the peripheral circadian clocks in mice.DOCX

, 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

High-efficiency genome editing by Cas12a ribonucleoprotein complex in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
We 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 ...
