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–).

Experimental studies on diagnosis of death from drowning by means of detection of vegetative planktons (diatoms) II. Detection of diatoms from putrefied and cremated bones of drowned bodies [PDF]
A series of experiments have been conducted with ten adult rabbits, drowning them to death in a ditch those water contains diatoms in abundance. The bones (selected ones are the femur, humerus, riHand vertebra) of these drowned rabbits have been buried ...

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.

Predation pressure of Noctiluca scintillans on diatoms and thecate dinoflagellates off the western coast of Kyushu, Japan [PDF]
Predation pressure of Noctiluca scintillans on diatoms and thecate dinoflagellates was investigated off the western coast of Kyushu, Japan by a comparison between the taxonomic composition of prey in the food vacuoles of N.
