We investigated the advantages and disadvantages of light microscope (LM)-based
identifications and DNA metabarcoding, based on a 312-bp rbcL marker, for examining …

A mixture of acetone: diethyl ether solvent system (2: 6, v/v) was used to treat the diatom
biomass (5 g dw), and water was used to phase partition. The upper nonpolar phase was …

In the ocean, Bacillariophyta are one of the most successful protistan groups. Due to their
considerable biogeochemical implications, diatom diversity, development, and seasonality …

Nutrient dynamics function globally, flowing from rivers to the ocean (estuarine–coastal
zone), and are vulnerable to climate change. Microbial habitats can be affected by marine …

Diatoms are single-celled organisms with a cell wall made of silica, called the frustule. Even
though their elaborate patterns have fascinated scientists for years, little is known about the …

Diatoms are the most abundant photosynthetic microalgae found in all aquatic habitats. In
the extant study, the spent biomass (after lipid extraction) of the centric marine diatom …

Light and nitrogen availability are basic requirements for photosynthesis. Changing in light
intensity and nitrogen concentration may require adaptive physiological and life process …

Thalassiosira is a species-rich genus in Bacillariophyta that not only contributes positively as
primary producer, but also poses negative impacts on ecosystems by causing harmful algal …

The marine diatoms Thalassiosira proschkinae and T. spinulata are relatively small in size;
their taxonomic identities have been debated owing to the diverse morphological variations …

Diatoms are a globally successful and eukaryotic photosynthetic organism with an
ornamented silica external wall. The relationship between their valve morphology and …
