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

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

A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...

The film explores the microscopic world found in a drop of pond water, revealing a diverse ecosystem of tiny plants and animals. It illustrates how these microorganisms, such as amoebas, green ...

The diatom species Skeletonema marinoi was the only phytoplankton species revived from the samples. The species is common in the Baltic Sea and typically occurs during the spring bloom, according ...

Scientists have discovered two diatoms in shellfish farms in Luzon that can cause severe sickness and amnesia.

Filipino scientists have recently confirmed the presence of two species of marine diatoms in shellfish farms in Luzon.

Diatoms are too small to see with the naked eye, yet they are one of the most productive algae species in the ocean and play an important role in the global carbon cycle.

The team also showed that this diatom species can grow much faster when consuming organic carbon in addition to photosynthesis.

Globally, scientists have discovered 25,000 to 30,000 species of diatoms that are estimated to be anywhere between 2 lakh to 2 million in number.

In a paper published in Science Bulletin, an international team of scientists present the first evidence that the photosynthesis of Skeletonema costatum, a common diatom species, can induce ...

Several different phytoplankton species, including diatoms and dinoflagellates, seen through a microscope. These species use the VHA-enhancing mechanism of photosynthesis discovered in a new study.
