It has been accepted that we know less than 10% of the identified diversity in the marine
microbial world and the diatoms are no exception. Even the species that we think we can …

A new diatom genus, Gogorevia, is described on the basis of an integrated molecular and
morphological investigation. Two species are described from Vietnam: the generitype, G …
