An ode to phytoplankton
burblings:
Diatoms have lacy cases
Of material silicaceous,
Perforated lids and bases
Made to fit like Petri dishes.
Nursed on Nature’s hydroponic
They’re prolific and nutritious,
Making bouillabase planktonic
For the sustenance of fishes.
- Ralph LewinTaken from ‘The Fertile Sea’, by A.P Orr and S.M Marshall (1969)

This may look like Salvador Dali’s Mae West Lips Sofa, but it is a colourised scanning electron microscope image of a diatom - a tiny single-celled marine creature invisible to the naked eye. Diatoms are a type of algae or phytoplankton that typically measure just 0.002 inches across, and are thought to pre-date the dinosaurs. Oceanographer Dr Paul Hargreaves uses an electron microscope to photograph the creatures, and artist Faye Darling uses digital paint programmes to colourise them.

Red tide in Xiamen, in China’s Fujian Province, April 21, 2007.
Red tides are nutrient-fueled blooms of phytoplankton (often dinoflagellates) that discolor water with their pigments. Several species are known to have toxic effects on marine life and pose a risk to human health through the consumption of exposed shellfish.

“Phytoplankton is perhaps the most important organism on Earth. It helps our planet to breathe, as it is responsible for half of the total amount of oxygen produced by all plant life.”

Ceratium tripos, a photosynthetic dinoflagellate found worldwide in surface waters.
This is a micrograph of diatomaceous earth, made of the fossilized frustules (hydrated silicon dioxide cell walls) of diatoms.
It's often used as a filtration agent, an abrasive agent, and in the all-too-familiar kitty litter! It has wonderful absorbent abilities.
Karenia brevis, a poisonous marine dinoflagellate responsible for "red tide".
