This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book provides a comprehensive and a reliable source of information on all major areas of diatom research. It addresses research advances in the key areas of diatom biology, morphology, systematics, phylogeny and ecology along with their interdisciplinary applications. Diatoms are the world’s most diverse group of algae populating the freshwater and marine ecosystems of the world. They are unicellular, photosynthetic, eukaryotes having ornate silicified cell walls. Diatoms contribute around 25% of annual global carbon fixation, which is more than all of the terrestrial rainforests combined. Diatoms underpin major aquatic food webs and drive global biogeochemical cycles and have several ecological and interdisciplinary applications. This book targets a wide range of audience including researchers, academicians, teachers and students of varied disciplines such as biology, environmental sciences, ecology, evolution, nanotechnology and other related disciplines. It is useful read for beginners as well as advanced researchers.
Download or read book Diatoms written by Joseph Seckbach and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications) is to provide a comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications. The first book of the series, Diatoms Fundamentals & Applications, is wide ranging, starting with the contributions of amateurs and the beauty of diatoms, to details of how their shells are made, how they bend light to their advantage and ours, and major aspects of their biochemistry (photosynthesis and iron metabolism). The book then delves into the ecology of diatoms living in a wide range of habitats, and look at those few that can kill or harm us. The book concludes with a wide range of applications of diatoms, in forensics, manufacturing, medicine, biofuel and agriculture. The contributors are leading international experts on diatoms. This book is for a wide audience researchers, academics, students, and teachers of biology and related disciplines, written to both act as an introduction to diatoms and to present some of the most advanced research on them.

Download or read book Diatom Photosynthesis written by Johannes Wilhelm Goessling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide is designed for researchers, professionals, and students looking to deepen their knowledge of diatoms, including detailed information on diatom photosynthesis regulation at the molecular scale, as well as their significant ecological roles, all aimed at promoting sustainable advancements and the safeguarding of aquatic ecosystems. Diatoms exert an immense influence on the ecosystem of Earth due to their remarkable abundance and species diversity. Thriving in diverse habitats spanning the oceans, intertidal benthic zones, saline and freshwater environments, and even terrestrial niches like moist soil, forests, and caves, they play an integral role. Diatoms alone account for around 20% of the oxygen generated by photosynthesis, comparable to the combined productivity of tropical rainforests worldwide, while their primary production can reach 40–45% in marine ecosystems. Nevertheless, in contrast to the extensive research on macroscopic photosynthetic organisms, investigations in this domain remain comparatively limited, despite the role of diatoms in global biogeochemical processes. This book presents an exhaustive review of the subject matter, encompassing a wide spectrum of topics ranging from the intricate molecular mechanisms of diatom photosynthesis and light absorption to the dominant role of diatoms as primary producers within ecological frameworks. Beyond this, the book delves into the practical implications stemming from diatoms and their photosynthetic productivity. A strong emphasis is placed on the importance of fundamental research in deepening our understanding of the natural world around us. Diatoms Photosynthesis provides readers with a comprehensive guide to understanding the fundamentals of diatom photosynthesis and their ecological significance in aquatic ecosystems; a guide to the potential of diatom-derived products for sustainable technologies; a roadmap from diatom photosynthesis to implications in applied sciences; a bridge to span the gap between fundamental research on diatoms and their practical applications. Audience This book caters to academic professionals, students, and researchers in the fields of marine biology, ecology, microbiology, and biochemistry. It offers insights and benefits into diatom photosynthesis, diatom physiology, biodiversity, ecosystem health, and sustainable technological advancements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Common Diatoms at Water Pollution Surveillance System Stations: June, 1966 Dr. Cornelius I. Weber assumed responsibility for the plankton studies in September 1963. Mr. Louis Grivetti who was on the staff of the plankton laboratory from 1962-196u developed the first draft of this guide to consolidate information which would be helpful to beginners in diatom identification work. The present form of this guide is the result of extensive additions and revisions by Dr. Weber and his staff. The diatom studies have become a vital part of the plankton program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIATOM MICROSCOPY The main goal of the book is to demonstrate the wide variety of microscopy methods being used to investigate natural and altered diatom structures. This book on Diatom Microscopy gives an introduction to the wide panoply of microscopy methods being used to investigate diatom structure and biology, marking considerable advances in recent technology including optical, fluorescence, confocal and electron microscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and spectroscopy as applied to diatoms. Each chapter includes a tutorial on a microscopy technique and reviews its applications in diatom nanotechnology and diatom research. The number of diatomists, diatom research, and their publications are increasing rapidly. Although many books have dealt with various aspects of diatom biotechnology, nanotechnology, and morphology, to our knowledge, no volume exists that summarizes advanced microscopic approaches to diatoms. Audience The intended audience is academic and industry researchers as well as graduate students working on diatoms and diatom nanotechnology, including biosensors, biomedical engineering, solar panels, batteries, drug delivery, insect control, and biofuels.
