Diatoms are an essential element of the food web of many aquatic ecosystems. However, seasonal algal blooms which occur as a result of anthropogenic contaminant loading can have severe impacts on human health, aquatic ecosystems, and the economy. Diatom blooms can be particularly harmful in water supply reservoirs, due to toxin production and filter blocking at water treatment works. Although their importance is commonly recognized, their behaviour is yet not fully understood. One open fundamental question is how these cells adapt to sudden changes in their physicochemical environment and evolve into harmful blooms.
