Diatoms, the most diverse and abundant group of algae, hold a remarkable significance in the realm of carbon fixation, contributing approximately 20% of the annual global carbon capture. These tiny organisms play pivotal roles in ocean food webs and global biogeochemical cycles, making them a coveted target for the biotechnology industry due to their unique nano-patterned silica cell wall and high lipid content. With the availability of increasing genomic data and the development of advanced genome editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9, diatoms have gained increasing attention as genetically tractable model species. This comprehensive book serves as a valuable resource, bringing together international experts in the field to explore the latest advancements in diatom molecular biology. As our understanding of diatoms undergoes a transformative shift, it is paramount to foster synergistic approaches across various aspects of diatom biology and evolution. By delving into the molecular intricacies of these remarkable organisms, the book offers fundamental insights into their molecular life, while also paving the way for the development of new scientific concepts through the application of cutting-edge molecular tools and genomic information. This captivating exploration of diatom lifestyles sheds light on their remarkable adaptations, ecological roles, and potential applications in various fields, including environmental science, biotechnology, and medicine.
