Thalassiosira
''Thalassiosira'' is a genus of centric diatoms, comprising over 100 marine and freshwater species. It is a diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotes that make up a vital part of marine and freshwater ecosystems, in which they are key primary producers and essential for carbon cycling Dreux Chappell, P., Whitney, L. A. P., Haddock, T. L., Susanne Menden-Deuer, Menden-Deuer, S., Roy, E. G., Wells, M. L., & Jenkins, B. D. (2013). Thalassiosira spp. community composition shifts in response to chemical and physical forcing in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Frontiers in Microbiology, 4(SEP), 273. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2013.00273 ''Thalassiosira'' is a diverse genus, however one species within the genus, ''T. pseudonana'', has gained particular significance as the first marine phytoplankton to have its genome sequenced. ''T. pseudonana'' has since become a key model organism for studying diatom physiology. The ''T. pseudonana'' genome revealed novel genes for intracellular traffi ...
