Formation of porous structure in paramylon esters via supercritical CO₂

eXPRESS Polymer Letters
This study demonstrated, for the first time, the successful formation of porous paramylon esters, which were made from euglenoid polysaccharide known as paramylon and short-chain fatty acids, through supercritical CO2 processing.

Isolation and characterization of a motility-defective mutant of Euglena gracilis [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Euglena gracilis is a green photosynthetic microalga that swims using its flagellum. This species has been used as a model organism for over half a century to study its metabolism and the mechanisms of its behavior.

Structural, Compositional, and Dielectric State Profiling in Label‐Free Single‐Cell Monitoring

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 13, 8 July 2026.
Label‐free single‐cell monitoring leverages distinct physical interactions to access structural, compositional, and dielectric states of cells, enabling non‐perturbative, repeatable, and information‐rich measurements across diverse biological contexts. This review organizes representative platforms by intrinsic state variables and connects measurement ...

Thermal Expansion Coefficient of Curdlan Tripropionate Measured by Thermal Mechanical Analysis and Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Diffraction

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 21, June 5, 2026.
This study demonstrates the thermal expansion behavior of curdlan tripropionate films using thermal mechanical analysis and synchrotron WAXD. Both amorphous and crystalline films show characteristic expansion near the glass transition, providing structural insights for designing heat‐resistant polysaccharide‐based plastics.

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

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 846-854, June 2026.
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,

Retracing Storage Polysaccharide Evolution in Stramenopila

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Eukaryotes most often synthesize storage polysaccharides in the cytosol or vacuoles in the form of either alpha (glycogen/starch)- or beta-glucosidic (chrysolaminarins and paramylon) linked glucan polymers. In both cases, the glucose can be packed either
