Abstract
A boron requirement has been shown for 12 species of marine pennate diatoms, 4 species of marine centric diatoms, and 8 freshwater diatom species. It can be concluded that boron is essential for the growth of most, probably all, diatoms. It is much easier to demonstrate a requirement for the marine species than for the freshwater species. Some species of marine algal flagellates also require boron for growth; others apparently do not.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
