Koliko vrst diatomej živi na planetu?<br />

Ne vemo. Morda milijon ali<br />

dva, doslej pa je znanih več kot<br />

deset tisoč morskih in sladkovodnih<br />

vrst. Toda znanstveniki se<br />

še sprašujejo, kaj sploh je vrsta<br />

diatomeje, saj je šele elektronski<br />

mikroskop omogočil vpogled v<br />

drobne strukture njihovih kremenastih<br />

ogrodij, značilnih za posamezne<br />

vrste.<br />

Vsak dan opisujejo nove oblike,<br />

nove strukture in podrobnosti —<br />

in zato nove vrste.<br />

How many diatom species live on<br />

our planet? The truth is we don’t<br />

know. It may be one or two millions;<br />

till now, about ten thousands<br />

of salt– and freshwater species are<br />

known. Scientists are still trying to<br />

understand what a diatom species<br />

is, as only electronic microscopy has<br />

enabled the insight into tiny structures<br />

of silica frustules characteristic<br />

for single species.<br />

Every day, new forms, structures<br />

and details are discovered — therefore<br />

also new diatom species.<br />
