Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the environment. They fix up to 20% of the Earth's CO 2. A research team at the University of Basel, Switzerland ...
Diatoms (blue/white/yellow) frozen on an electron microscopy grid (copper) during a sample preparation step for cryo-electron tomography. Diatoms are too small to see with the naked eye ...
Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide from the environment. They fix up to 20 percent of the Earth's CO2. A research team has now discovered a protein shell in these ...
An international team of scientists has just confirmed the presence there of two species of Pseudo-nitzschia diatoms capable of producing a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause severe sickness and ...
This much revised and expanded edition provides a valuable and detailed summary of the many uses of diatoms in a wide range of applications in the environmental and earth sciences. Particular emphasis ...
I am interested in the taxonomy, systematics and evolution of the diatoms. I also study biogeography, as well as applications of diatoms, such as water quality monitoring and biofuels. My current ...
