Journal ArticleDOI

The Phaeodactylum genome reveals the evolutionary history of diatom genomes

Chris Bowler, +78 more
- 13 Nov 2008 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of molecular divergence compared with yeasts and metazoans reveals rapid rates of gene diversification in diatoms, and documents the presence of hundreds of genes from bacteria, likely to provide novel possibilities for metabolite management and for perception of environmental signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diatoms—From Cell Wall Biogenesis to Nanotechnology

TL;DR: Analysis of the organic components associated with diatom silica, the development of techniques for molecular genetic manipulation of diatoms, and two diatom genome sequencing projects are providing insight into the composition and mechanism of the remarkable biosilica-forming machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosilica formation in diatoms: characterization of native silaffin-2 and its role in silica morphogenesis.

TL;DR: From diatom biosilica a highly polyanionic phosphoprotein, termed native silaffin-2 (natSil-2), was isolated that carries unconventional amino acid modifications and generated an organic matrix that mediated precipitation of porous silica within minutes after the addition of silicic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular genetic manipulation of the diatom thalassiosira pseudonana (bacillariophyceae)

TL;DR: The first system for genetic transformation of Thalassiosira pseudonana (Hustedt) Hasle et Heimdal, the only diatom for which a complete genome sequence is presently available, exhibits the highest transformation efficiency compared with transformation systems for other diatom species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silica morphogenesis by alternative processing of silaffins in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana

TL;DR: Surprisingly, the silaffins of T. pseudonana and C. fusiformis share no sequence homology but are similar regarding amino acid composition and post- translational modifications, suggesting that the alternative processing event is an important step in morphogenesis ofT.
