Researchers have discovered that assembly of the algal pyrenoid, a structure that mediates the incorporation of carbon dioxide into sugars, is guided by the presence of a particular protein sequence, ...

A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...

The first breakthrough in understanding pyrenoid assembly came when the team of Martin Jonikas, leader of the Carnegie/Stanford and Princeton groups, identified a linker protein in the green alga ...

Carbon is one of the main building blocks for life on Earth. It's abundant in our planet's atmosphere, where it's found in the form of carbon dioxide. Carbon makes its way into Earthlings' bodies ...

Two new studies of green algae -- the scourge of swimming pool owners and freshwater ponds -- have revealed new insights into how these organisms siphon carbon dioxide from the air for use in ...

Carbon is one of the main building blocks for life on Earth. It's abundant in our planet's atmosphere, where it's found in the form of carbon dioxide. Carbon makes its way into Earthlings' bodies ...

The next time you visit a lake or the seashore, take a deep breath. As you exhale, take a moment to be thankful for the little things: Specifically, for the microscopic, single-celled algae in the ...

Researchers have discovered how Rubisco holoenzymes assemble to form the fluid-like matrix of the algal pyrenoid, an organelle that mediates the incorporation of carbon dioxide into sugars. Carbon is ...

Princeton researchers Moritz Meyer, Martin Jonikas, and colleagues have discovered how the algal pyrenoid, a structure responsible for more than 30% of global carbon fixation, is assembled The next ...
