The yeast vacuole membrane forms ordered microdomains that facilitate microlipophagy under nutrient limitation. We previously found that this process …

In biology, we use reference organisms to study, test, and observe natural phenomena. The ideal reference is one whose behavior represents a broad range of

Ancient algae turn chocolate factory waste and other organic matter into valuable bio-based products, supporting a sustainable circular bioeconomy.

Scientists uncover a hidden feature of protein translation in green algae, offering a new perspective on the basic rules of gene expression.

Abstract. Lipid droplets (LDs) are subcellular organelles consisting of a neutral lipid core surrounded by a monolayered membrane and a protein coat. Recen

Auxenochlorella, green algae shaped by evolutionary forces acting on vegetative diploids, are amenable to discovery research and bioengineering via efficie

Two years ago, a novel analysis by UC Berkeley researchers pointed to comb jellies as the root of the animal tree of life. Another Berkeley group now says it’s sponges.

Lange et al. identify a lipid droplet quality control pathway in which FSP1 safeguards stored neutral lipids from lipid peroxidation, thereby preventing the induction of ferroptosis.

Detailed instructions for the introduction of targeted gene cassettes into the genome of Auxenochlorella Protothecoides using a lithium acetate transformation method. Following...
