Are marine diatoms favoured by high Si:N ratios? [PDF]
, 1994 Competition experiments were performed first with 4, then with 11 species of marine phytoplankton at various ratios of si1icate:nitrate and various light intensities.

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.

Contribution of epilithic diatoms to benthic−pelagic coupling in a temperate river [PDF]
, 2013 Water residence time in the middle course of rivers is often too short to allow substantial phytoplankton development, and primary production is essentially provided by benthic phototrophic biofilms.

Dynamic diatom response to changing climate 0–1.2 Ma at Lake El'gygytgyn, Far East Russian Arctic [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2013 The Lake El'gygytgyn sediment record contains an abundant diatom flora through most intervals of the lake's history, providing a means to create and test hypotheses concerning the lake's response to changing climates.

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.

Physiological and transcriptomic evidence for a close coupling between chloroplast ontogeny and cell cycle progression in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta [PDF]
, 2008 Despite the growing interest in diatom genomics, detailed time series of gene expression in relation to key cellular processes are still lacking. Here, we investigated the relationships between the cell cycle and chloroplast development in the pennate ...

Learning Diatoms Classification from a Dry Test Slide by Holographic Microscopy [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Diatoms are among the dominant phytoplankters in marine and freshwater habitats, and important biomarkers of water quality, making their identification and classification one of the current challenges for environmental monitoring. To date, taxonomy of the species populating a water column is still conducted by marine biologists on the basis of their ...
