Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that exhibit a characteristic golden-brown color due to
the high quantity of fucoxanthin. Fucoxanthin is a brown pigment molecule that belongs to …

Diatoms are prominent and highly diverse microalgae in aquatic environments. Compared
with other diatom species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum is an “atypical diatom” displaying …

Microalgae are microscopic plants which are found in water, snow as well as land. They are
one of the major resources of biofuel. However, the phenomenon of biolipid accumulation …

Diatoms, an evolutionarily successful group of microalgae, display high levels of
intraspecific genetic variability in natural populations. However, the contribution of various …

Diatoms are abundant unicellular microalgae, responsible for≈ 20% of global
photosynthetic CO2 fixation. Nevertheless, we know little about fundamental aspects of their …

Biomineral-forming organisms produce inorganic materials with complex, genetically
encoded morphologies that are unmatched by current synthetic chemistry. It is poorly …

Phytoplankton and sea ice algae are traditionally considered to be the main primary
producers in the Arctic Ocean. In this Perspective, we explore the importance of benthic …

Diatoms are a diverse group of mainly photosynthetic algae, responsible for 20% of
worldwide oxygen production, which can rapidly respond to favorable conditions and often …

Metatranscriptomics generates large volumes of sequence data about transcribed genes in
natural environments. Taxonomic annotation of these datasets depends on availability of …

Quantum dots (QDs), as a new type of nanomaterial, are widely used in the biomedical,
electronic, and energy fields. Due to their special physicochemical properties and …
