Summary of genetic events leading to adaptive radiation of diatoms in the N. sing1 lineage. Unlike most diatoms, which perform photosynthesis to generate carbon compounds, some members of the genus ...

Researchers sought to understand how diatoms -- microscopic, photosynthetic algae that make up an estimated 20 percent of global carbon sequestration and oxygen production -- are able to bloom in an ...

Hidden within Arctic ice, diatoms are proving to be anything but dormant. New Stanford research shows these glass-walled algae glide through frozen channels at record-breaking subzero temperatures, ...

The term "proof of concept" might be the appropriate subtitle to Kris Davis' Diatom Ribbons' Live At The Village Vanguard. Her concept, first heard on the eponymous release Diatom Ribbons (Pyroclastic ...

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 ...

Since the 1940s, the jazz quintet has typically consisted of two horns (usually a trumpet and a saxophone), plus piano, bass and drums. But two new recordings by leading pianists—Guillermo Klein’s ...

In a new study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology, the Alfred Wegener Institute and the University of Vienna shed light on an unexpected partnership: A marine diatom and ...

The radiating, kaleidoscopic pattern you see here was once the living glass skeleton – the cell wall – of a single-celled organism called a diatom. These organisms absorb silicon from their ...
