We conducted semi-continuous incubation experiments on two ecologically significant marine diatom species, Thalassiosira sp.and Nitzschia closterium f. minutissima, to examine their physiological responses to ocean warming and temperature fluctuation. These findings highlight the influence of temperature fluctuation on the physiology of marine diatoms in the context of global warming, thus having implications for a further understanding of biogeochemical feedbacks.
