Abstract β-glucans are a large class of complex polysaccharides found in abundant sources.
Our dietary sources of β-glucans are cereals that include oats and barley, and non-cereal …

The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a safety pre‐
assessment within EFSA for microorganisms. Strains belonging to QPS taxonomic units (TU …

Background Euglena gracilis, a photosynthetic protist, produces protein, unsaturated fatty
acids, wax esters, and a unique β-1, 3-glucan called paramylon, along with other valuable …

Biological microswimmers exhibit versatile strategies for sensing and navigating their
environment, such as run-and-tumble and curvature modulation. Here, we report a striking …

Chloroplasts are generally known as eukaryotic organelles whose main function is
photosynthesis. They perform other functions, however, such as synthesizing isoprenoids …

Paramylon is a linear β-1, 3-glucan, similar to curdlan, produced as intracellular granules by
the microalga Euglena gracilis, a highly versatile and robust strain, able to grow under …

In this study the use of Euglena gracilis biomass for α-tocopherol, paramylon and biogas
production in a value-added chain was investigated. Therefore, we analyzed the dry cell …

Euglena gracilis produce high amounts of algal β-1, 3-glucan, which evoke an immune
response when consumed. This study investigated the effect of supplementation with a …
