The Phylogeny of the Diatoms

  • Chapter
Silicon Biomineralization

Part of the book series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology ((PMSB,volume 33))

Abstract

Diatoms are among the most diverse groups of eukaryotic microorganisms and there are probably well in excess of 100,000 species (Mann and Droop 1996).The beauty and unbelievable variation of their intricately shaped and ornamented silica cell wall, called the frustule, have attracted taxonomists and naturalists alike (Round et al. 1990). More recently, ultrastructure, sexual reproduction, and the development of their unique type of zygote, called the auxospore, have also become the focus of research.
