Diatoms are the most species rich group of algae, and they
contribute about 20% of annual global carbon fixation. They play
major roles in ocean food webs and global biogeochemical cycles.
They are also a target of the biotechnology industry because of
their nano-patterned silica cell wall and high lipid content.
Diatoms have received increasing attention as more genomes became
available and because of the development of genome editing tools
such as the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, which has made diatoms as
genetically tractable as well-established biological model species.
This book provides an overview on diatom molecular biology. It
brings together international leading experts in the field to
discuss the latest data and developments from genes to ecosystems.
As the understanding of diatoms is currently experiencing a step
change, it is critical to allow for synergistic approaches on
diverse aspects of diatom biology and evolution. The books offers
fundamental insights into the molecular life of diatoms; at the
same time new scientific concepts are developed based on the
application of the latest molecular tools and genomic information
to explore the fascinating lifestyle of diatoms.
