Nanoplanktonic diatoms are globally overlooked but play a role in spring blooms and carbon export
Nature Communications, 2018 Diatoms are one of the major primary producers in the ocean, responsible annually for ~20% of photosynthetically fixed CO2 on Earth. In oceanic models, they are typically represented as large (>20 µm) microphytoplankton.

New Phytologist, 2018 Summary Patterns of species richness are commonly linked to life history strategies. In diatoms, an exceptionally diverse lineage of photosynthetic heterokonts important for global photosynthesis and burial of atmospheric carbon, lineages with different ...

Silicified cell walls as a defensive trait in diatoms
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Diatoms contribute nearly half of the marine primary production. These microalgae differ from other phytoplankton groups in having a silicified cell wall, which is the strongest known biological material relative to its density.

The Central Carbon and Energy Metabolism of Marine Diatoms
Metabolites, 2013 Diatoms are heterokont algae derived from a secondary symbiotic event in which a eukaryotic host cell acquired an eukaryotic red alga as plastid. The multiple endosymbiosis and horizontal gene transfer processes provide diatoms unusual opportunities for ...

, 2023 In this chapter, we provide information on cultures of diatoms, starting with a brief introduction of the history of diatom culture collections. We present a synopsis of diatom strains currently available in culture collections and their representation in terms of habitat diversity, geographical distribution, phylogeny and taxonomic diversity.

Molecular biogeography of planktonic and benthic diatoms in the Yangtze River
Microbiome, 2019 Diatoms are of great significance to primary productivity in oceans, yet little is known about their biogeographic distribution in oligotrophic rivers. With the help of metabarcoding analysis of 279 samples from the Yangtze River, we provided the first ...

Thai amber: insights into early diatom history?
BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2020 The origin of the diatoms still remains enigmatic. Their fossil record is scarce until the Late Cretaceous and great divergences exist between molecular data and the earliest fossil evidence. While molecular data indicate an origin during the Triassic or

Scientific Reports, 2018 Diatoms are one of the most successful and ecologically important groups of eukaryotic phytoplankton in the modern ocean. Deciphering their genomes is a key step towards better understanding of their biological innovations, evolutionary origins, and ...
