Edited by Joseph Seckbach, professor emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem; and Patrick Kociolek, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at CU Diatoms are fascinating algae, whose ...

Diatoms have profound influence on climate, producing 20 percent of the oxygen we breathe by capturing atmospheric carbon and countering the greenhouse effect. These photosynthetic wonders have come ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 61, No. 1 (2016), pp. 198-213 (16 pages) The present study aims to characterize the change in the composition and structure of the bacterial and microzooplankton ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor, ...
