The pigment-protein network of a diatom photosystem II–light-harvesting antenna supercomplex
Science, 2019 A light-harvesting array in diatoms Photosynthetic organisms use huge arrays of pigments to draw light energy into the core of photosystem II. The arrangement of these pigments influences how much energy reaches the reaction center. Pi et al.

Chytridiomycosis of marine diatoms : the role of stress physiology and resistance in parasite-host recognition and accumulation of defense molecules [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the role of chemotaxis in the location and attachment of chytrid zoospores to potential diatom hosts. Hypothesizing that environmental stress parameters affect parasite-host recognition, four chytrid-diatom tandem cultures ...

Associated bacteria affect sexual reproduction by altering gene expression and metabolic processes in a biofilm inhabiting diatom [PDF]
, 2019 Diatoms are unicellular algae with a fundamental role in global biogeochemical cycles as major primary producers at the base of aquatic food webs. In recent years, chemical communication between diatoms and associated bacteria has emerged as a key factor

Survival of fossils under extreme shocks induced by hypervelocity impacts [PDF]
, 2014 Experimental data are shown for survival of fossilized diatoms undergoing shocks in the GPa range. The results were obtained from hypervelocity impact experiments which fired fossilized diatoms frozen in ice into water targets.

Benthic diatoms and some environmental conditions in three lowland streams [PDF]
, 2002 This article reports on the ecological preferences of benthic diatoms in relation to pH, conductivity and organic pollution-eutrophication and their tolerance spectrums. Three Pampean streams subjected to different human impacts were studied.
