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.

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 ...

Phylogenetic analysis and a review of the history of the accidental phytoplankter, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (Bacillariophyta). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been used as a model for cell biologists and ecologists for over a century. We have incorporated several new raphid pennates into a three gene phylogenetic dataset (SSU, rbcL, psbC), and recover Gomphonemopsis sp.

Diversity of Diatom Communities in Delaware Tidal Wetland and Their Relationship to Water Quality
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018 Diatoms are strongly influenced by water quality and serve as indicators of water quality degradation in freshwater systems. Here, sediment and water samples were collected from four sites in Blackbird Creek, DE, a salt marsh characterized as mostly ...

Parallelized microfluidic diatom accumulation assay to test fouling-release coatings
Biointerphases, 2018 Assessing the efficiency of the next generation of protective marine coatings is highly relevant for their optimization. In this paper, a parallelized microfluidic testing device is presented to quantify the accumulation of a model organism (Navicula perminuta) under constant laminar flow.
