We can phenotype Skeletonema on agar
The ability to grow on solid culture medium is a pre-requisite for a successful microbial genetic model organism. Skeletonema marinoi, a bloom-forming, planktonic marine microalga, is widely used in ecological, evolutionary and population genetics studies. We have tested and confirmed … Continue reading

Diatom resting stages are not as dormant as we might believe
Rickard Stenow defended his MSc thesis with distinction! DIATOM RESTING STAGES ASSIMILATE NITROGEN IN ANOXIC CONDITIONS Diatoms can survive for a century buried in oceanic sediment, during dark and anoxic conditions. It’s not previously known if the cells preform respiratory … Continue reading

Why do we find large genetic differentiation over small spatial scales?
Many have been puzzled about large intra-specific genetic differentiation over small spatial scales in aquatic protists without any apparent dispersal barriers. We did a transplant experiment with two populations of common diatom from a fjord and the open sea and … Continue reading
