Chaetoceros diversus is a marine planktonic diatom belonging to one of the most species-rich diatom genera. It forms chain-like colonies of siliceous cells bearing long, needle-like setae (chaetae) that reduce sinking rates in the water column. This diatom inhabits coastal and open ocean environments worldwide and plays a significant role in marine primary production and global carbon cycling.
