Cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae (collectively referred to here as ‘microalgae’) represent early-evolving oxygenic phototrophs and are widely considered ideal candidates for bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) due to their high […]
Cell culture bags are shown filled with microalgae and growth media at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB).
Blooms of dark pigmented microalgae accelerate glacier and ice sheet melting by reducing the surface albedo.
It’s a long way to Mars, and explorers headed there will either have to take enough food and supplies to last the whole trip or use in-situ resources to make […]
Photosynthesis can take place in nature even at extremely low light levels. This is the result of an international study that investigated the development of Arctic microalgae at the end […]
