Light intensity and spectral composition drive reproductive success in the marine benthic diatom Seminavis robusta
Abstract The properties of incident light play a crucial role in the mating process of diatoms, a group of ecologically important microalgae. While species-specific requirements for light intensity and photoperiod have been observed in several diatom species, little is known about the light spectrum...
