The silica-based cell walls of diatoms are prime examples of genetically controlled, species-
specific mineral architectures. The physical principles underlying morphogenesis of their …

Silica cell-wall formation in diatoms is a showcase for the ability of organisms to control
inorganic mineralization. The process of silicification by these unicellular algae is tightly …

Particulate HgS play crucial roles in the mercury (Hg) cycle. Approximately 20–90% of
dissolved Hg can be transformed into particulate HgS by algae. However, detailed …

Siliceous diatom frustules present a huge variety of shapes and nanometric pore patterns. A
better understanding of the light modulation by these frustules is required to determine …

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

The mucilaginous biomass 'lake snow'first appeared in the low nutrient Southern Great
Lakes of New Zealand in 2004. Lake snow has been fouling the inlet filters of hydroelectric …

Marine benthic diatoms have the capacity to produce quality biomass and bioactive
compounds for various commercial applications. Amphora sp. NCC169 is one of such …

Kiselalger er en av hovedgruppene av encellede eukaryoter i planteplanktonøkosystemet.
Det er anslått at det er rundt 100 000 arter, som står for 40% av den totale …

Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae representing one of the most successful groups of
phytoplankton. However, little information is available on the regulatory mechanisms …
