Marennine, Promising Blue Pigments from a Widespread Haslea Diatom Species Complex
Marine Drugs, 2014 In diatoms, the main photosynthetic pigments are chlorophylls a and c, fucoxanthin, diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin. The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long been known for producing, in addition to these generic pigments, a water-soluble blue
