Tiny diatoms are beautiful, ... About 20 percent of that oxygen comes from photosynthesis by marine diatoms — the most important little organisms that most people have never heard of.

The study was published in Plant Physiology on Sept. 23.. Cultivation of marine diatoms in the laboratory is under constant light conditions, but the light environment in the ocean is not constant ...

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 ...

Take a deep breath. Now take nine more. According to new research, the amount of oxygen in one of those 10 breaths was made possible thanks to a newly identified cellular mechanism that promotes ...

Warming waters are causing the colors of the ocean to change -- a trend that could impact humans if it were to continue, ...

Blooms of coccolithophores can also be beneficial for the local environment. For example, their calcium carbonate scales can ...

In 2020, phytoplankton bloom covered a total of 31.47 million square kilometers of ocean—or roughly 9 percent of total ocean area. Of course, humans play a massive role in the boom of the past ...
