Hi Michael A few points about Diatoms. Most diatoms are consumed by zooplankton and fish and do not accumulate, unlike other phytoplankton. That is why you SEE fewer Diatom blooms in photos. Diatoms sink, other phytoplankton float. This is another reason why we SEE less diatoms. To answer the

Hi All, MV, thank you for the input and I have spent a few days reading up on the basics of the subject. I am just learning this field and so I ask your patience. With that, I would like to ask two questions, if possible. Are there diatoms that can regulate their buoyancy with intracellular

Yes, I understand the difference between micro/macro. I am trying to understand how any diatom can be used in a controlled/prescribed way concerning Geoengineering. In my cursory scan of the diatom field, I could not make the link, with the exception of possibly using macro forms. As to

Micro algae that sequester more carbon in oceans. Macro algae do not contribute much. Nano and Pico Plankton are the most dominant / prolific micro algae. Diatoms sink and other algae float this is one reason why they contribute more to sequestering carbon, there is not much literature on
