This study analyzes the environmental changes that occurred in the western sector of the San Luis province (Argentina) during the Late Pleistocene to Middle Holocene period (approximately 12,600 to 3,600 years BP). The information provided by diatoms as paleobiological indicators is used for this analysis. We examined the lower 5 meters of the 10-m...
Namen magistrskega dela je bil proučiti združbe alg in makrofitov, ki uspevajo v petih zadrževalnikih verige hidroelektrarn na spodnji Savi. Ugotavljali smo, kakšen vpliv imajo spremembe okoljskih dejavnikov na združbe alg in makrofitov. Terensko delo smo opravili med marcem in avgustom 2021. Pred vsako od petih hidroelektrarn smo izbrali vzorčno m...

Haslea ostrearia represents the model species of blue diatoms, a cluster of benthic marine species all belonging to the genus Haslea, noticeable for producing a blue pigment called marennine famous for its greening activity on the gills of bivalves but also for its potential in biotechnology. The exact distribution of H. ostrearia is unknown. It ha...
For the first time, a giant diatom species of the genus Cymbella from Lake Baikal was studied using molecular methods. Molecular and morphological investigations allowed to us to described one new species, Cymbella baicalaspera Glushchenko, Kulikovskiy and Kociolek sp. nov. This species is both morphologically similar and phylogenetically close to ...

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are a major constituent of the phytoplankton and have a universally recognized ecological importance. Between 1,000 and 1,300 diatom genera have been described in the literature, but only 10 nuclear genomes have been published and made available to the public up to date. Skeletonema costatum is a cosmopolitan marine diat...

A new cymbelloid diatom species from the genus Cymbopleura (Krammer) Krammer is described on the basis of molecular and morphological investigations. Cymbopleura natellia Glushchenko, Kulikovskiy & Kociolek, sp. nov. is, on the basis of results with molecular data, close to C. naviculiformis (Auerswald ex Heiberg) Krammer. The two species differ bo...
Ecotoxicological assays on monospecific phytoplankton have limited application for detecting the effects of environmental pollutants on multiple species communities. With this study, we took an ecotoxicological, ecological, and biochemical approach to evaluate the effects of two contaminants of emerging concern (zinc oxide nanoparticles, ZnO NPs, a...

The knowledge about terrestrial diatom assemblages in southern Africa is rather limited, despite a long history of diatom research in this area. Terrestrial habitats are places of characteristic diatom floras, dominated by species resistant to desiccation which are able to thrive in conditions of limited water availability. The presented work expan...

Pleurosigma inscriptura M. A. Harper 2009 is a marine diatom in Naviculales (Bacillariophyceae) order distributed in New Zealand, South America, Argentina, and Korea. We assembled the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Pleurosigma inscriptura (38,013 bp), and annotated 34 protein-coding genes, 25 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. We analy...

AbstractThe study of diatoms (Bacillariophyta) collected in 2000–2001 with a plankton net from the hypersaline Kara-Bogaz-Gol Bay revealed 13 species and varieties of the genera Campylodiscus, Cocconeis, Diploneis, Epithemia, Navicula, Nitzschia, Planothidium, Surirella, and Tryblionella. These diatoms occurred at water salinities from 44 to 250‰. ...
