This is an illustrated book of the Japanese Chaetoceridae family, which is said to be the most diverse and numerous marine planktonic diatom. Its main feature is that the morphology and genetic analysis results of the Chaetoceridae family can be confirmed by QR code, making it a valuable resource that can be linked and referenced.
The illustrated book consists of three chapters. Chapter 1 covers the basics of diatoms, their taxonomic position, life cycle, classification methods for resting spores, and classification points for vegetative cells.
Chapter 2 includes (1) a search table for searching by photographs and a general search table, (2) the main illustrations include many optical and scanning electron microscope images of the 68 species listed, as well as images of the surface structure of stings and resting spores, which are characteristic of this family. It also includes (3) a method for typing species that are difficult to classify morphologically using vegetative cells alone. In addition to the various illustrations, it also includes (4) a table of SEM images of the surface structure of stings (63 species), (5) a table of images of resting spores (28 species), and (6) a phylogenetic tree (2 species: 18S and 28S), which is a compilation of the results of genetic analysis, and a discussion of the tree.
Chapter 3 describes research methods, analytical methods, tips for viewing marine diatoms under an optical microscope, methods for observation under an electron microscope, isolation and culture, and resting spore formation for the study of marine diatoms, making the book a useful reference for the cultivation of microalgae.
