and Bhattacharya were part of an international team that analyzed Ulva’s recently determined genome sequence. They studied the sea lettuce to gain insights into the growth and reproduction of ...

To understand how and why single-celled organisms evolve to be multicellular, the scientists experimented on green algae where some species are always single-celled, some are single-celled but ...

The study was published in the journal ChemPhysChem. Algae such as Ulva, also known as sea lettuce, play a vital role in marine ecosystems and could become increasingly important in biotechnology ...

A recent study published in the journal Algal Research summarized the existing knowledge on bioactive compounds in green seaweeds and Ulva spp ... and red algae. Research suggests that seaweeds ...

These algae have twirling flagella that allow them to move under their own power. They are usually unicellular. But they can switch into a multicellular form under certain stressful conditions.
