Category:Diatoms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diatoms are eukaryotic organisms in the phylum Bacillariophyta. This page contains articles about diatoms and diatomists.

Older classifications used to subdivide diatoms into Centrales and Pennales (with Bacillariophyceae used as a class), whereas more recent ones use a three classes system: Bacillariophyceae, Coscinodiscophyceae and Fragilariophyceae.
