Diatoms : fundamentals and applications

Diatoms : fundamentals and applications / edited by Joseph Seckbach and Richard Gordon.

Diatoms Fundamentals & Applications, is wide ranging, starting with the contributions of amateurs and the beauty of diatoms, to details of how their shells are made, how they bend light to their advantage and ours, and major aspects of their biochemistry (photosynthesis and iron metabolism). The...
