Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have ...

Researchers found that cooperative fluid dynamics between single-celled organisms may have driven the evolution of ...

There are roughly a trillion species of microorganisms on Earth—the vast majority of which are bacteria. Bacteria consist of ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

Shekhar got the idea while watching the filter feeding of stentors — trumpet-shaped, single-celled giants that float near the surface of ponds. Through microscope video, he captured the fluid dynamics ...

The video shows the amoeba slowly engulfing the single-celled organism before absorbing its prey. Captivating footage taken on January 31 in Hong Kong, China, captured the mesmerizing moment an amoeba ...

The stentor’s multicellular-like behavior could be used as a model system to help understand how life evolved from single-cell organisms to complex organisms like humans — made up of trillions ...
