  • Title: Light acclimation in diatoms: from phenomenology to mechanisms.
    Author: Wilhelm C, Jungandreas A, Jakob T, Goss R.
    Journal: Mar Genomics; 2014 Aug; 16():5-15. PubMed ID: 24412570.
    Abstract:
    This review summarizes the current knowledge about light acclimation processes in diatoms. Against the background of the phenomenological description of the process in the 70s-80s, the recent progress in diatom genetics has generated new information about the underlying mechanisms. Although the general responses of diatoms to changes in the light climate are comparable to the green algal lineage, many differences in the underlying mechanisms have been observed in the last ten years, yielding clear evidence that the regulatory network in diatoms has unique traits that might explain their ecological success.
