Abstract
Diatoms, single-cell eukaryotic microalgae with silicon-dioxide (silica)-based cell walls ranging in size from tens to hundreds of micrometres, can be found in practically every aquatic habitat. Diatoms obtain their energy from sunshine and grow use organic matter as food (Carbon source) grown in aquaculture pond. They are the world's largest oxygen producers, producing 20% of all oxygen on the globe. Different species of diatoms are cultured/ grown in both marine and freshwater, which helps the juveniles as a primary source of food for shrimp and fish fry, which are the most interesting features to be used in nanotechnology, including biosensing, drug delivery, molecular separation, molecular biology, biomimetics, frustule formation, and electronic, photonic, optical, and structural materials.
