Transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) selectively increase biogenic silica dissolution from fossil diatoms as compared to fresh diatoms Ghent University
Diatom production is mainly supported by the dissolution of biogenic silica (bSiO(2)) within the first 200 m of the water column. The upper oceanic layer is enriched in dissolved and/or colloidal organic matter, such as exopolymeric polysaccharides (EPS) and transparent exopolymeric particles (TEP) excreted by phytoplankton in large amounts, especially at the end of a bloom. In this study we explored for the first time the direct influence of ...

Étude de la variabilité des assemblages des diatomées actuelles dans les lacs d’Ounianga (Sahara, Tchad) Meise Botanic Garden
Les diatomées sont reconnues comme d’excellents bio-indicateurs des variations du milieu aquatique dans lequel elles se développent. Elles sont utiles pour la reconstitution des environnements passés comme pour la bio-indication de la qualité des eaux actuelles. Des travaux, portant sur la biomasse algaire dans le lac Tchad, ont permis de mettre en évidence que c’est certainement le groupe le plus représenté du phytoplancton [1,2]. De plus, avec ...
Responses of aquatic organisms to metal pollution in a lowland river in Flanders : a comparison of diatoms and macroinvertebrates Meise Botanic Garden
The role of macroinvertebrates and diatoms as indicator for metal pollution was investigated by assessing both biota along a metal gradient in the Belgian river the Dommel. Macroinvertebrates and diatoms were sampled in summer and winter and physical-chemical characteristics of the water were measured at four different sample periods and related to sediment characteristics. Although metal concentrations, except cadmium, in the water nowhere ...

Microcostatus zackenbergensis Van de Vijver, Beyens et Iserentant sp. nov. and Microcostatus deslooveri Iserentant et Van de Vijver sp. nov.: two new aerophilic diatoms from Greenland and Papua New Guinea Meise Botanic Garden
During a survey of soil and moss samples from Karkar Island (Papua New Guinea) and Zackenberg (Greenland), two new species of the small, recently established naviculoid genus Microcostatus Johansen et Sray have been found: Microcostatus zackenbergensis and Microcostatus deslooveri. Both new species show some affinities with other Microcostatus species, but can be separated easily. © 2004 J. Cramer in der Gebrüder Borntraeger Verlagsbuchhandlung....
