Gliding motility of the diatom Craspedostauros australis correlates with the intracellular movement of raphid-specific myosins

This study identifies and characterizes raphid diatom-specific myosins in Craspedostauros australis, showing that only CaMyoB-D moves during gliding, suggesting a role in force generation.

Diatom adhesive trail proteins acquired by horizontal gene transfer from bacteria serve as primers for marine biofilm formation

The paper identifies diatom-specific adhesive proteins acquired via horizontal gene transfer from bacteria, which function as primers for marine biofilm formation.
