Diatom

  1. Extreme low light triggers unusual energy dissipation in a polar diatom
    Discover how Arctic polar diatoms survive extreme low light beneath sea ice by sustaining photosynthesis while uncoupling growth, maintaining metabolic readiness for rapid recovery.
  2. New diatom classification aligns groups with evolutionary history
    Phylogenetic classification of Bacillariophyta recognizing 10 classes and 431 genera, revising traditional morphological systems to reflect evolutionary relationships.
  3. Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Harmful Algal Bloom Detection: Pseudo-nitzschia in the Northeast Pacific
    Hyperspectral remote sensing distinguishes toxic Pseudo-nitzschia blooms from benign diatoms via unique 560nm spectral signature, enabling scalable harmful algal bloom detection.
  4. Nutrient Uptake and Growth Kinetics of Novel Environmental Phytoplankton Isolates from the Galápagos Archipelago
    Study characterizes growth kinetics and functional traits of Galápagos phytoplankton isolates, revealing taxon-specific deviations from allometric scaling predictions.
