Effects of culture modes on polyglucan accumulation and molecular weight distribution in Galdieria sulphuraria strains

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 200-210, January 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of different culture modes – autotrophy, mixotrophy and heterotrophy – on polyglucan accumulation and molecular weight distribution in four Galdieria sulphuraria strains. Understanding the impact of these culture modes helps optimize the production of reserve carbohydrates and modify their ...

Euglena gracilis Suppresses Cold Symptoms in Healthy Individuals: A Double‐Blind, Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
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.
