Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]
, 2020 Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

Comparative algological and bacteriological examinations on biofilms developed on different substrata in a shallow soda lake [PDF]
, 2008 According to the European Water Framework Directives, benthic diatoms of lakes are a tool for ecological status assessment. In this study, we followed an integrative sample analysis approach, in order to find an appropriate substratum for the water ...

Insights into the transfer of silicon isotopes into the sediment record [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 The first δ30Sidiatom data from lacustrine sediment traps are presented from Lake Baikal, Siberia. Data are compared with March surface water (upper 180 m) δ30SiDSi compositions for which a mean value of +2.28‰ ± 0.09 (95 % confidence) is derived.

Inclusion of photoautotrophic cultivated diatom biomass in salmon feed can deter lice.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of diatom (microalgae) biomass as a lice-reducing ingredient in salmon feed. The original hypothesis was based on the fact that polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs), e.g.

Integrative effects of morphology, silicification, and light on diatom vertical movements
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Diatoms represent the most abundant and diversified class of primary producers in present oceans; their distinctive trait is the ability to incorporate silicic acid in a silica outer shell called frustule.
