Interference patterns and extinction ratio of the diatom Coscinodiscus granii.

چکیده
We report experimental and theoretical verification of the nature and position of multiple interference points of visible light transmitted through the valve of the centric diatom species Coscinodiscus granii. Furthermore, by coupling the transmitted light into an optical fiber and moving the diatom valve between constructive and destructive interference points, an extinction ratio of 20 dB is shown.

pH effect on the susceptibility to parasitoid infection in the marine diatom Coscinodiscus spp. (Bacillariophyceae)
The pH on the frustule of individual cells of the marine centric diatoms Coscinodiscus granii and Coscinodiscus wailesii (Bacillariophyceae) was measured with pH microsensors in culture media with increasing pH values of 8.04, 8.14, and 8.22, respectively. In 85-96% of the C.granii cells the pH on the frustule was up to 0.4 units higher than that of the medium, reaching a maximum pH 8.95. Only ...
متن کاملPhoto-Protection in the Centric Diatom Coscinodiscus granii is Not Controlled by Chloroplast High-Light Avoidance Movement
Diatoms are important phototrophs in the worlds’ oceans contributing ∼40% of the global primary photosynthetic production. This is partially explained by their capacity to exploit environments with variable light conditions, but there is limited knowledge on how diatoms cope with changes in the spectral composition and intensity of light. In this study, the influence of light quality and high i...
متن کاملAutomatic Identification of Diatoms with Circular Shape using Texture Analysis
Diatoms are unicellular microscopic algae found in practically any moist environment. Identification of diatom has application in many disciplines, including ecology, archaeology and forensic science. In recent years, the work has been undertaken for automatic identification of diatom. However, the diatom with circular shape has not yet been considered as the uttermost goal of the research. In ...
متن کاملStaining diatoms with rhodamine dyes: control of emission colour in photonic biocomposites.
The incorporation of rhodamine dyes in the cell wall of diatoms Coscinodiscus granii and Coscinodiscus wailesii for the production of luminescent hybrid nanostructures is investigated. By systematic variation of the substitution pattern of the rhodamine core, we found that carbonic acids are considerably better suited than esters because of their physiological compatibility. The amino substitut...
متن کاملPalaeoecological analysis of phytoplankton regime shifts in response to coastal eutrophication
We used a multiple-proxy palaeoeco logical method to reconstruct a 100 yr time series showing coastal eutrophic processes and phytoplankton re sponses. Total organic carbon, total nitrogen, diatom frustules, dinoflagellate cysts, brassicasterol and dinosterol were extracted from chronologic sediment cores in Sishili Bay, a polluted area in China. The cores showed that eutrophication occurred du...
