Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed ...

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.

New Species Of Diatom Discovered By University of Georgia Scientist Date: December 4, 2005 Source: University of Georgia Summary: Scientists from University of Georgia, the Science Museum of ...

Tiny diatoms are beautiful, ... Diatom species are distinguished largely on the basis of their cell-wall features and, increasingly, differences in their DNA sequences.

When it comes to predicting the abundance of a species, body size appears to be a fundamental and repeatable predictor, with ...

By identification of diatom species in rivers, we are able to determine the condition and impact of stressors to aquatic environments. Our work emphasizes the development of repeatable taxonomy across ...

Diatom taxonomy continues to evolve as researchers integrate morphological, molecular and ultrastructural techniques to resolve long‐standing ambiguities in species delimitation.

Algal blooms have many causes, but it's commonly chemicals in industrial fertilizers that end up in rivers and oceans in a ...

But even the sprawling diatom herbarium lacked all the answers—Desianti estimates that over one-third of the 900-odd species they collected from the wetlands are new to science.

The Pseudonitzchia species of algae, forms of diatoms, more commonly create red tides off the coast of California. Some of these blooms can be harmless, because not all produce the toxin domoic acid.

Filipino scientists have recently confirmed the presence of two species of marine diatoms in shellfish farms in Luzon. Scientists from the Ateneo de Manila University Department of Biology and the ...
