This classification treats diatoms as a phylum (Diatomeae/Bacillariophyta), accepts the class Mediophyceae of Medlin and co-workers, introduces new subphyla and classes for a number of otherwise isolated genera, and re-ranks a number of previously established taxa as subclasses, but does not list orders or families.
Three diatom species were sent to the International Space Station, including the huge (6 mm length) diatoms of Antarctica and the exclusive colonial diatom, Bacillaria paradoxa. The cells of Bacillaria moved next to each other in partial but opposite synchrony by a microfluidics method. [117]
Diatoms are eukaryotic organisms in the phylum Bacillariophyta. This page contains articles about diatoms and diatomists.. Older classifications used to subdivide diatoms into Centrales and Pennales (with Bacillariophyceae used as a class), whereas more recent ones use a three classes system: Bacillariophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae and Fragilariophyceae.

Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a diatom, the only species in the genus Phaeodactylum.Unlike other diatoms, P. tricornutum can exist in different morphotypes (fusiform, triradiate, and oval) and changes in cell shape can be stimulated by environmental conditions. [1]
Navicula is a genus of boat-shaped diatom (single-celled photosynthetic organisms), comprising over 1,200 species, [1] though many Navicula species likely do not belong in the genus strictly speaking. [2] Navicula is Latin for "small ship", and also a term in English for a boat-shaped incense-holder. [2]
Chaetoceros is a genus of diatoms in the family Chaetocerotaceae, first described by the German naturalist C. G. Ehrenberg in 1844. [1] Species of this genus are mostly found in marine habitats, but a few species exist in freshwater. [2] It is arguably the common and most diverse genus of marine planktonic diatoms, [3] with over 200 accepted ...
The most accepted view is that Solenicola is a highly adapted epizoic or parasitic organism; other speculations are that Solenicola is a stage of the diatom life cycle. The diatom is a widespread species in the world ocean and several studies have investigated its morphology using scanning electron microscopy.
