Persistent nitrogen depletion in sunlit open ocean waters provides a favorable ecological
niche for nitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) cyanobacteria, some of which associate symbiotically …

The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been used as a model for cell biologists and
ecologists for over a century. We have incorporated several new raphid pennates into a …

The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and
taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely …

Type material of Navicula kotschyi was studied, and this species was transferred to
Dorofeyukea gen. nov. as D. kotschyi comb. nov. Dorofeyukea was described on the basis of …

The current study focuses on the biological diversity of two strains of Antarctic diatoms
(strains IMA082A and IMA088A) collected and isolated from the Ross Sea (Antarctica) …

The current study focuses on four species from the primarily marine diatom genus
Craspedostauros that were observed growing attached to numerous sea turtles and sea …

In this study, based on the results of molecular analysis of SSU rRNA and rbc L sequences,
we propose the descriptions of two new families in the order Cymbellales. Molecular data …

Licmophora species are common epiphytes, with new species being discovered in under-
sampled areas, and a need for a larger morphological character set for all species. In the …

Due to the ubiquity and high dispersal capacity of unicellular eukaryotes, their often
extraordinary diversity found in isolated and long‐lived ecosystems such as ancient lakes is …

We provide for the first time the complete plastid and mitochondrial genomes of a
monoraphid diatom: Schizostauron trachyderma. The mitogenome is 41,957 bp in size and …
