The bulk of the time was spent combining fossil information about diatoms with the newly sequenced transcriptomes (the genes expressed by an organism) from 181 different diatoms to reconstruct the ...

This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to unravel the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.

We examine diatoms via research-grade microscopes. Our lab also houses several thousand glass microslides and archived material, primarily from arctic, alpine and Antarctic lakes and streams. Our work ...

The beauty of creating a time scale from scratch, Gramling said, is that scientists can take everything they have learned about timekeeping on Earth and apply it to a new system on the moon.

You'll consume about 2 liters (just over a half gallon) of oxygen in the time it takes you to read this post. About 20 percent of that oxygen comes from photosynthesis by marine diatoms — the ...

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 current study relies on diatoms preserved in time in the sediments of freshwater lakes. Paul Hamilton, the curator of the algae collection at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Canada ...

So the next time you enjoy a bowl of clam chowder or salmon dinner, or marvel at the sight of huge whales off the coast, you can thank the simple, humble diatom.

Single-celled algae and marine bacteria live in a complex but largely unexplored relationship. Now, a new study shows that the surface of diatoms is a surprisingly diverse habitat for bacteria. A ...

15. Existing Resources Are Strained One definite sign that it's time for leadership to scale up the company is when existing resources are consistently strained due to high demand.

There’s an ongoing international effort to keep time accurately on the moon. It’s not as easy as it may sound.

There’s an ongoing international effort to keep time accurately on the moon. And it’s not just about creating a “lunar time zone.” ...
