Growth and motility of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium: Implications for commercial applications

Record #:
28386
Abstract:
Cylindrotheca closterium is a diatom commonly found in neritic waters of the Newport River estuary in North Carolina. This study measured diatom growth rates and motility. The results have implications for using diatoms in a variety of biotechnological and commercial applications that would require industrial-scale production including abalone culture.
