POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF DIATOMS Authors: Shrivastav A* and Daki S
ABSTRACT
Diatoms are microalgal processing eukaryotic nature. Which are commonly present in every
aqueous habitat with wide variety of species, thriving around different area. Diatoms are
quite promising biological agents which can be exploited for varied number of applications
like for biomineralization, waste degradation in reducing metal toxicity, in synthesis of
biomaterial, for synthesis of nano material, use as filtrate in water purification, as biodevices,
as biofuels, for use in immunodiagnostic and nanomedicine. Present review summaries all the
potential application of such promising microbes for development of future technologies
thriving on diatoms as their active biological components.
Keywords: Cadmium, Platinum, reactive oxygen species (ROS), self-assembled
