NewsResearchers probe coral resilience in the face of climate change
A new paper reveals the complex and varied ways corals are adapting, or struggling to adapt, to the rapidly changing oceanic environment.
-
NewsAlgae could replace animal-derived protein for building muscle
A new study demonstrates that the ingestion of two of the most commercially available algal species are rich in protein which supports muscle remodeling in young healthy adults.

NewsCoevolution and UV spectrum help Santa’s reindeer feast after flight
The eyes of Rudolph and his reindeer brethren may have evolved so that they can spot their favorite food - a lichen called reindeer moss - during dark and snowy Arctic winters.
-
NewsExogenous arginine promotes coproduction of biomass and astaxanthin in algae
Scientists have discovered that arginine supplements can enhance the growth and astaxanthin production of Haematococcus pluvialis.
-
NewsKey algae species help soft corals survive warming oceans
The algae, from the genus Breviolum, resides inside the coral tissue, forming a symbiotic relationship, a new study finds.
-
NewsHeat tolerant coral may trade fast growth for resilience
Rresearchers have found that there is a tradeoff for corals dominated by thermally sensitive algae - they have higher growth, but only in cooler water.
-
NewsRole of microhabitats in shaping diversity of periphytic diatom assemblages
Researchers have studied the importance of microhabitat heterogeneity (emergent, submerged and floating macrophytes) in maintaining diverse periphytic diatom assemblages.
-
NewsHow green algae count cell divisions reveals key step needed for multicellular life
Scientists have made an unexpected discovery of a biased counting mechanism used by the single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas to control cell division.
-
NewsNew algae species rewrites understanding of reef systems
Scientists have identified and officially named four species of algae new to science, challenging previous taxonomical assumptions within the Porolithon genus.
-
NewsExperiment shows biological interactions of microplastics in watery environment
Microplastic-induced eating difficulties limit the ability of zooplankton to control algal proliferation, researchers have found.
-
NewsNew calcifying phytoplankton species discovered off Bermuda
Researchers’ discovery bolsters the scientific record, indicating the global distribution of a coccolithophore species now formally described as Calciopappus curvus.
-
NewsBizarre new fossils shed light on ancient plankton
A scientist from the University of Leicester has discovered a new type of fossil that reveals life in the oceans half a billion years ago.
-
NewsClimate change is increasing risk of high toxin concentrations in Northern US lakes
As climate change warms the Earth, higher-latitude regions will be at greater risk for toxins produced by algal blooms, with water temperatures of 20 to 25 degrees Celsius at greatest risk for developing dangerous levels of a common algae-produced toxin.
-
NewsSoft, living materials made with algae glow under stress
A team of researchers has developed soft yet durable materials that glow in response to mechanical stress, such as compression, stretching or twisting, and deriving their luminescence from single-celled algae known as dinoflagellates.
-
NewsUnique marimo threatened by rising lake temperatures
Rising lake water temperatures threaten the survival of marimo, unique algal balls found only in cold lakes - the warmer it gets, the more the inward decomposition outpaces the outward growth of these life forms, making them increasingly fragile.
-
NewsClimate change coping mechanism discovered in humble algae
One of the building blocks of ocean life can adapt to cope with the effects of climate change, according to new research.
-
NewsPlasma technology transforms microalgae for faster wound healing
Researchers have taken a major step in the field of wound care by using plasma technology to ‘transform’ Spirulina microalgae into ultrathin bioactive coatings.
-
NewsLumen Bioscience wins historic $1.5 million Wilkes Center Climate Prize
The Seattle-based biotech company has developed a natural solution to eliminate the microorganisms in the cow gut that produces methane gas, a major cause of global warming.
-
NewsPolar experiments reveal seasonal cycle in Antarctic sea ice algae
A new study provides the first measurements of how sea-ice algae and other single-celled life adjust to seasonal changes, offering clues to what might happen as this environment shifts under climate change.
-
NewsAlgae provide clues about 600 million years of plant evolution
Research team led by Göttingen University investigates 10 billion RNA snippets to identify ’hub genes’.
