Epipsammic diatoms in streams influenced by urban pollution, São Carlos, SP, Brazil.

Epipsammic diatoms have important implications for ecosystem processes in lotic environments. Most of the studies on benthic diatoms concentrate on epilithic diatoms and very little is known about epipsammic diatoms. The objective of this study was to assess epipsammic diatom communities in streams in relation to environmental conditions. Epipsammic diatoms and water quality sampling was done a...

The mysteries of the diatoms

Understanding the physiology of these unique and spectacularly successful algal species could lead to substantial benefits in a wide range of areas from nanotechnology to climate change. Michael Gross reports.

Cell coatings of surf diatoms

Many sandy beach surf-zones support characteristic accumulations of diatom cells appearing as dark brown patches at the water surface. These diatoms become buoyant during the day, adhering to air bubbles generated by wave action. This, together with water circulation patterns generated by rip currents results in the accumulation of diatoms. By late afternoon the cells lose buoyancy and the accu...
