Four species of phytoplankton representing important bloom-forming species from three globally important phyla (Bacillariophyta, Haptophyta, and Ochrophyte) were cultured in this study. These species
Transcriptomics of Phaeodactylum tricornutum (strain Pt4) analysis provides a complementary insight into the gene expression level of serine hydrolases.
A major goal of evolutionary biology is to identify the genetic basis for the emergence of complex adaptive traits. Diatoms are ancestrally photosynthetic microalgae. However, in the genus Nitzschia,
