Culture and growth of two benthic diatoms species isolated from the Salar del Huasco (North of Chile, 20° S) at different conditions of temperature, light and nutrient

Benthic diatoms are cultured usually under laboratory conditions to be used as a food source for other organisms, of aquaculture interest or for biotechnological applications. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the incidence of the physical and chemical variables on abundance and growth rates of dia...
