Skeletonema Costatum
''Skeletonema costatum'' is a cosmopolitan centric diatom that belongs to the genus '' Skeletonema''. It was first described by R. K. Greville, who originally named it ''Melosira costata,'' in 1866. It was later renamed by Cleve in 1873 and was more narrowly defined by Zingone et al. and Sarno et al. '' Skeletonema'' ''costatum'' is the most well known species of the genus ''Skeletonema'' and is often one of the dominant species responsible for red tide events. The diatom ''S. costatum'' is known for its carbon acquisition mechanisms, and it has been used in the production of biofuel and as a feed for aquaculture. The organism is appealing for commercial use due to its high photosynthetic efficiency, high tolerance to pH, temperature, and salinity changes, high lipid and fatty acid content, and rapid growth rate. Structure and morphology Cells belonging to ''S. costatum'' are single-celled but exist as long chains of about 6 to 24 cells but can be up to 60 cells in length. ...

Skeletonemataceae
Skeletonemataceae is a family of diatoms in the order Thalassiosirales ''Thalassiosirales'' is an order of centric diatoms. The order currently contains 471 species. Species in the order Thalassiosirales are common in brackish, nearshore, and open-ocean habitats, with approximately the same number of freshwater and .... There is currently only one known genus in this family of diatoms known as ''Skeletonema'' as reported from diatom.org. Being from the Thalassiosirales order means that Skeletonemataceae are centric diatoms. The sexual reproduction of oogamous is where reproduction occurs by the union of mobile male and immobile female gametes. This way of reproduction is possible due to the lack of significant motility which is also a defining trait of ''Skeletonema''. References Thalassiosirales Diatom families {{Diatom-stub ...

Diatom
A diatom (Neo-Latin ''diatoma''), "a cutting through, a severance", from el, διάτομος, diátomos, "cut in half, divided equally" from el, διατέμνω, diatémno, "to cut in twain". is any member of a large group comprising several genera of algae, specifically microalgae, found in the oceans, waterways and soils of the world. Living diatoms make up a significant portion of the Earth's biomass: they generate about 20 to 50 percent of the oxygen produced on the planet each year, take in over 6.7 billion metric tons of silicon each year from the waters in which they live, and constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans. The shells of dead diatoms can reach as much as a half-mile (800 m) deep on the ocean floor, and the entire Amazon basin is fertilized annually by 27 million tons of diatom shell dust transported by transatlantic winds from the African Sahara, much of it from the Bodélé Depression, which was once made up of a system of ...

Robert Kaye Greville
Dr. Robert Kaye Greville FRSE FLS LLD (13 December 1794 – 4 June 1866) was an England, English mycologist, bryology, bryologist, and botanist. He was an accomplished artist and illustrator of natural history. In addition to art and science he was interested in causes like Abolitionism in the United Kingdom, abolitionism, capital punishment, keeping Sunday special and the temperance movement. He has a mountain in Queensland named after him. Biography Greville was born at Bishop Auckland, County Durham, Durham, but was brought up in Derbyshire by his parents Dorothy ( Chaloner) and Robert Greville. His father who liked to compose was the rector of St James' Church, Edlaston, the parish church in Edlaston in Derbyshire. Greville had an interest in natural history since he was very young, but he originally studied medicine. Realising that he did not need an income he discarded four years of medical education in London and Edinburgh and decided to concentrated on botany which ...
