Bioinspired Design of Graphene‐Based Materials
It can be difficult to know where to begin when considering the research opportunities of a material with such outstanding potential as graphene. When searching for a “killer application,” the…
Exopolysaccharides directed embellishment of diatoms triggered on plastics and other marine litter
TLDR
A proof-of-concept model is developed to successfully deliver a message concerning benefit of using different diatom species to identify the substrates that adhere to diatoms strongly and was mainly analyzed by scanning electron microscope.
The Probable Mechanism for Silicon Capture by Diatom Algae: Assimilation of Polycarbonic Acids with Diatoms—Is Endocytosis a Key Stage in Building of Siliceous Frustules?
TLDR
Partial condensation of silicic acid is a plausible first stage of silicon assimilation and points to the ability of diatoms to recognize substances that bear four acidic groups and to include them into siliceous frustules.

Diatom frustules protect DNA from ultraviolet light
TLDR
It is shown that reflection of ultraviolet light by nanostructured silica can protect the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the algal cells, and that this may be an evolutionary cause for the formation of glass cages.

Light-induced dynamic structural color by intracellular 3D photonic crystals in brown algae
TLDR
The results suggest that these complex intracellular natural photonic crystals are responsive to environmental conditions, changing their packing structure reversibly, and have the potential to manipulate light for roles beyond visual signaling.

Ocean acidification conditions increase resilience of marine diatoms
TLDR
It is demonstrated that resilience of diatoms increases significantly in ocean acidification conditions, and this stress test framework can be extended to evaluate and predict how various climate change associated stressors may impact microbial community resilience.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that the optical properties of the frustule valves in water affect light harvesting and photosynthesis in live cells of centric diatoms (Coscinodiscus granii) and alter the cellular light field with implications on diatom photobiology.
The UV filtering potential of drop-casted layers of frustules of three diatom species
TLDR
Characterization of the UV protection performance of layers of diatoms frustules is of central relevance for their potential use as innovative bio-based UV filters and the relative importance of crystal structure properties, nanostructure and quantity of material on the spectral properties of diatom layers is discussed.
