Diatoms have unique silica cellular and metabolic characteristics and can grow in various
environments, including wastewater, facilitating pollutant removal. Diatoms provide a …

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is a pivotal component of total dissolved nitrogen pools,
serving as a crucial nitrogen source for phytoplankton. This study investigated the impact of …

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 …

In the hadal zone of the ocean (6–11 km), the characteristics of sinking marine snow
particles and their attached microbial communities remain elusive, despite their potential …

Microphytobenthos (MPB) form a light-sensitive “nutrient filter” between sediment and
bottom water in shallow coastal systems and the MPB activity is believed to have important …

Nitrogen, as an essential component for living organisms, is the primary limiting nutrient on
Earth. The availability and effective utilization of nitrogenous compounds for metabolic and …

Taxa-specific responses to the increasing anthropogenic eutrophication offer promising
insights for mitigating harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwaters. The present study …

Diatoms are a highly successful group of phytoplankton, well adapted also to oligotrophic
environments and capable of handling nutrient fluctuations in the ocean, particularly nitrate …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) are promoted by excessive nutrient loading
and, while fertilizers and sewage are the most prevalent external nutrient sources in most …

Diatoms can survive long periods in dark, anoxic sediments by forming resting spores or
resting cells. These have been considered dormant until recently when resting cells of …
