Potential Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications of Diatoms Microalgae - An Overview

Naturally occurring two girdle band valves of diatoms are made up of siliceous material as covering the cell wall of the organism. The unicellular microalgae are coming under bacillariophyceae groups and identified more than 10,000 species. It found in various natural sources such as sea water, rive...
