Rising algae bloom releasing domoic acid that causing the poisoning to sea lions. this year Marine Mammal Center has found 68 sick sea lions from the central coast.
Researchers analyzed green algae, red algae, and glaucophytes to find the origin of photosynthesis. Glaucophyte Cyanophora paradoxa and cyanobacteria have the similar respiratory effect on photosynthesis
University of Geneva (UNIGE) scientists found an alternative way to track the pollution level of water. Unicellular algae, especially diatoms react on the aquatic environmental changes and scientists have used this feature to create Swiss diatom index (DI-CH) to monitor the ecological status.
Scientists found the reason behind the blood-red color of ocean which is commonly known as "Red tide". George Sugihara from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego explained that it caused by the algae bloom.
Scientists Found An Alternative Process To Produce Biofuel By Farming Microalgae. Nannochloropsis Oceanica can store more Triacylglycerols (TAGs) which can be used as biofuels.
As scientists around the world work feverishly to meet the 2030 deadline for sending humans to Mars, one of their most critical issues - oxygen production - may be solved by two very basic organisms: bacteria and algae.
