Аннотация

The film “Diatoms: Life in Glass Houses”, produced in 2003, covers various aspects of this ecologically important class of algae, such as their occurrence, cell biology including cell division and reproduction, morphology, morphogenesis, motility, and the formation of colonies. The aim of this work is to review and comment on some of the aspects presented in the video in the light of current knowledge. Special attention will be given to the constraints imposed by the solid silica wall and how diatoms cope with them. No attempt is made to be comprehensive.
