Diatoms belong to a major, diverse and species-rich eukaryotic clade, the Heterokonta,
within the polyphyletic chromalveolates. They evolved as a result of secondary …

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are considered to be the most diverse class of algae, including
as many as 250 genera and having possibly as many as 200,000 species. Because of their …

Biomass and lipid production by the marine centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana were
characterized in media based on palm oil mill effluent (POME) as a source of key nutrients …

Molecular analysis revealed diel rhythmicity in the metabolic activity of single-celled
microbial eukaryotes (protists) within an eddy in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (ca. 100 …

Diatoms are unicellular photosynthetic algae known to secrete organic matter that fuels
secondary production in the ocean, though our knowledge of how their physiology impacts …

Accounting for almost one-fifth of the primary production on Earth, the unicellular eukaryotic
group of diatoms plays a key ecological and biogeochemical role in our contemporary …

Biota imprint their stoichiometry on relative rates of elemental cycling in the environment.
Despite this coupling, producer‐driven diel solute variation in rivers and streams is more …

The fate of diatoms in future acidified oceans could have dramatic implications on marine
ecosystems, because they account for~ 40% of marine primary production. Here, we …

In the surface ocean, light fuels photosynthetic carbon fixation of phytoplankton, playing a
critical role in ecosystem processes including carbon export to the deep sea. In oligotrophic …

Photosynthetic microbes respond to changing light environments to balance photosynthetic
process with light induced damage and photoinhibition. There have been very few …
