Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections ...

"We have now discovered that diatom pyrenoids are encased in a lattice-like protein shell," says Dr. Manon Demulder, author on both studies. "The PyShell not only gives the pyrenoid its shape ...

In their study, the researchers tested diatom shells on two exemplary pollutants commonly found in rivers and groundwater due to the textile industry: methylene blue and methyl orange. To enhance ...

Caption Diatoms like this one, microscopic plants with silica shells, trapped trace amounts of nitrogen in their shells as they grew. Researchers in the Sigman Lab at Princeton University were ...

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton found in the oceans and rivers and have glass shells. There are several tens of thousands species, most of which are 0.1 millimeter or smaller and come in ...

The Museum's diatom collection is one of the largest in the world, containing over 300,000 specimens accumulated from the early nineteenth century to the present day. The collections are a crucial ...

The Diatom Section of the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History houses a research collection of diatoms that is worldwide in scope, with particular strengthes in North America, Asia, and ...

Our diatom research is focused on the pursuit of comparative biology: the systematics, evolution and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. The research covers both extinct and extant taxa, and utilises ...

The diatom collection at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History is drawn from a variety of sources. It contains uncleaned and cleaned material, as well as permanent slides and material ...
