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 ...

Dr David Williams: Taxonomy, systematics and biogeography of freshwater diatoms. Dr Anne D. Jungblut: Taxonomic diversity and ecology of cyanobacteria, toxic bloom-forming cyanobacteria, benthic ...

I also study biogeography, as well as applications of diatoms, such as water quality monitoring and biofuels. My current research is focused on freshwater diatoms of China, India, Russia as well as ...

Such factors are thus potentially important also for oxygen production by diatoms in freshwater ecosystems. More information: ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor.

The paper examined diatoms, which are unicellular algae that play an important role in freshwater and marine food webs. They ...
