The ecological footprint and economic performance of the current suite of biofuel production
methods make them insufficient to displace fossil fuels and reduce their impact on the …

Diatoms are abundant and important biological components of the marine environment that
biosynthesize diverse natural products. These microalgae are rich in various lipids …

Diatoms are present in all types of water bodies and their species diversity is influenced
greatly by environmental conditions. This means that diatom occurrence and abundances …

Diatoms are a diverse lineage with species that can be difficult to identify or cryptic, but DNA
barcoding, a molecular technique, can assist identification and facilitate studies of speciation …

The mitochondrial genome of the raphid pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has
several novel features compared with the mitochondrial genomes of the centric diatom …

In this review, we discuss types of mitochondrial genome structural organization
(architecture), which includes the following characteristic features: size and the shape of …

Analyses of the mitochondrial cox1, the nuclear‐encoded large subunit (LSU), and the
internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS 2) RNA coding region of Pseudo‐nitzschia revealed that …

Background and aims–The present study aims to describe a new species of pennate blue
diatom from the genus Haslea, H. nusantara sp. nov., collected from Semak Daun Island, the …

Production of axenic cultures of diatoms is a highly relevant task, as these widespread
organisms are objects of research in different fields of biology, from ecology to whole …

Background Microalgae are promising feedstock for production of lipids, sugars, bioactive
compounds and in particular biofuels, yet development of sensitive and reliable phylotyping …
