The Huge Potential of Euglena

Do you know euglena? It is a tiny green microorganism, only 0.05 mm in length, but has the potential to save the Earth.

One of the special characteristics of euglena is its usefulness as a food. It is highly nutritious, and its powder can be added to nutritional supplements, drinks, or cookies. Euglena’s potential is not limited to food. A researcher believes it could save the planet.

The researcher’s experience seeing malnourished children in Bangladesh led him to euglena, and he started his own business.

Japan shines in the use of euglena in biotechnology, with its fermentation technologies for miso, soy sauce, and sake. That traditional technology was a great help when using euglena.

Euglena may even be able to fly a plane with reduced CO2 emissions in the near future.

In addition, the Japanese researchers and an NGO plan to provide nutrient-rich Euglena school lunches to one million Bangladeshi children by 2023.

The researcher believes Japan’s fermentation technology and beneficial euglena will save the world.

Nowadays, people often read articles about AI or artificial intelligence. Many scientists have been doing experiments on AI. However, it has been a challenge to them since some of the results only showed progress in laboratories. Still, they believe that AI can make people’s lives more convenient.
