Diatoms are a diverse group of microalgae known for their unique silica cell walls and significant ecological roles in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Recent research has focused on ...

Because diatom cell walls are comprised of opaline silica—essentially, glass—they remain preserved in sediments even after their organic components have decomposed. The shape of diatom cell walls ...

"Diatoms are microscopic single-celled organisms that live in water and possess a cell wall made of silica (silicon dioxide). Thanks to its porous structure, it can absorb a wide variety of ...
