Diatom systematics and phylogeny constitute a dynamic field that integrates molecular, morphological, and ecological approaches to unravel the evolutionary history of these diverse microalgae. Recent ...

A simple single-celled marine organism, known as a diatom, has an enormous impact on our atmosphere and oceans, and without these chlorophyll- producing organisms classified as phytoplankton, life as ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

The algae was buried in sediment beneath the Baltic Sea with no light or oxygen. Researchers have successfully revived algae that remained dormant within sediment at the bottom of the Baltic Sea for ...
