Diatoms (Bacillariophyta)
Abstract The diatoms are one of the most easily recognizable groups of major eukaryotic algae, because of their unique siliciAed cell walls (frustules), which consist of two overlapping thecae, each in turn consisting of a valve and a number of hooplike or segmental girdle bands (1). Well-preserved...
