Diatoms are a prolific class of single-celled photosynthetic microalgae, pervasive in aquatic
habitats. More than 10 000 species of diatoms are widespread in the world and primarily …

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic microalgae, ubiquitously diffused in both marine and
freshwater environments, which exist worldwide with more than 100 000 species, each with …

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic algae enclosed in porous 3D nanopatterned silica
enclosures called “frustules.” The diatom frustules are made from biosilica self‐assembled …

Diatoms—unicellular photosynthetic algae—are promising natural sources of
nanostructured silica. These microorganisms produce in their membrane approximately a …

Diatoms microalgae can be regarded as living factories producing nanostructured and
mesoporous biosilica shells (frustules) having a highly ordered hierarchical architecture …

Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) is a unique class of unicellular microalgae of remarkable
evolutionary success showing large diversity over a relatively short geologic timescale …

Diatoms are unicellular microalga found in soil and almost every aquatic environment
(marine and fresh water). Biogenic silica and diatoms are attractive for biotechnological and …

Single‐celled microorganisms such as diatoms and coccolithophores produce inorganic
microparticles with genetically controlled hierarchical nanopatterns. Besides serving as …

Frustules, the silica shells of diatoms, have unique porous architectures with good
mechanical strength. In recent years, biologists have learned more about the mechanism of …
