“…Conversely, diatoms grown in nitrogen-limited media show a decrease in protein content (Dortch, 1982;Guerrini et al, 2000;Harrison et al, 1990;Jiang et al, 2012) and an increase in carbohydrate or lipid contents (up to 50-60% AFDW for both) (Guerrini et al, 2000;Jiang et al, 2012). In the present study, the culture enriched with 882 μM of nitrate (M882 condition) can be considered similar to a N-and P-nonlimited condition.…”

“…Absorbance spectra from 800 to 2000 cm 21 were collected and integrated using Varian Resolution Pro 4.0 software. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy provides a noninvasive way to quickly gain information about the contents of major secondary structures of biopolymers (Xu et al 2011b;Jiang et al 2012). Major infrared (IR) peaks were assigned according to Xu et al (2011b) and Jiang et al (2012).…”

Laboratory studies were conducted to examine the sorption of selected radionuclides ( 234 Th, 233 Pa, 210 Po, 210 Pb, and 7 Be) onto inorganic (pure silica and acid-cleaned diatom frustules) and organic (diatom cells with or without silica frustules) particles in natural seawater and the role of templating biomolecules and exopolymeric substances (EPS) extracted from the same species of diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, in the sorption process. The range of partition coefficients (K d , reported as logK d ) of radionuclides between water and the different particle types was 4.78-6.69 for 234 Th, 5.23-6.71 for 233 Pa, 4.44-5.86 for 210 Pb, 4.47-4.92 for 210 Po, and 4.93-7.23 for 7 Be, similar to values reported for lab and field determinations. The sorption of all radionuclides was significantly enhanced in the presence of organic matter associated with particles, resulting in K d one to two orders of magnitude higher than for inorganic particles only, with highest values for 7 Be (logK d of 7.2). Results further indicate that EPS and frustule-embedded biomolecules in diatom cells are responsible for the sorption enhancement rather than the silica shell itself. By separating radiolabeled EPS via isoelectric focusing, we found that isoelectric points are radionuclide specific, suggesting that each radionuclide binds to specific biopolymeric functional groups, with the most efficient binding sites likely occurring in acid polysaccharides, iron hydroxides, and proteins. Further progress in evaluating the effects of diatom frustule-related biopolymers on binding, scavenging, and fractionation of radionuclides would require the application of molecular-level characterization techniques.

“…Diatoms are one of the largest groups of silicifying organisms and most species have an obligate requirement for Si for cell wall formation. This characteristic means that in addition to modifying nutrients in the media to induce lipid formation (Jiang et al, 2012;Kwon et al, 2013).…”
