Science View S2017E16 - Euglena - Mysterious Organisms that Could Save the World?

Euglena are creatures just 0.05 millimeters long that inhabit ponds. They are very unusual organisms that acquired attributes of both animals and plants over the course of their evolution. Research is currently underway on making use of those attributes to use euglena as food, as a means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and even for energy. In this program we'll feature the latest research on euglena.
