A Competitive Advantage of Middle-Sized Diatoms From Increasing Seawater CO2
Diatoms, one of the most important phytoplankton groups, fulfill their carbon demand from seawater mainly by obtaining passively diffused carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or actively consuming intracellular energy to acquire bicarbonate (HCO3–).

Living diatoms integrate polysaccharide-Eu3+ complex for UV downconversion
In this work, living diatoms (LDT) were fed Eu3+-complex-polysaccharide aggregates (EIPA), and the living diatoms integrated-EIPAs (LDT-E) in a completely new UV downconversion biophotonic material.
