Methods Essential information on diatoms were reviewed and discussed towards impacts of
diatoms on biosynthesis and bioremediation. Results In this review, we present the recent …

Nanostructured biosilica produced by Thalassiosira weissflogii diatoms is covalently
functionalized with the cyclic nitroxide 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxyl (TEMPO), an …

Diatoms, the major contributors of the global biogenic silica cycle in modern oceans,
account for about 40% of global marine primary productivity. They are an important …

Vibrational spectroscopic imaging has developed into a versatile tool to study the local
composition of various materials. Here, we present for the first time that Raman mapping and …

Most of the studies on biomineralization have focused on calcification and silicification, the
two systems that predominate in nature in the construction of skeletal or integumental hard …

Diatoms microalgae produce biosilica nanoporous rigid outershells called frustules that
exhibit an intricate nanostructured pore pattern. In this paper two specific Thalassiosira …

Diatom frustules are incorporated into multilayer photoelectrodes intending to enhance
efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells utilizing their light interaction properties. A specific …

Biosilica from diatoms is formed at ambient conditions under the control of biological and
physicochemical processes. The changes in growth and biosilica formation through uptake …

Diatoms are key indicators of marine environmental health. To further understand how
diatoms respond to varying degrees of salinity, either due to climate change or brine waste …

Fixed fibronectin-coated gold surfaces with and without adherent embryonic fibroblasts were
probed via vibrational sum-frequency-generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The SFG spectra …
