Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Diatoms are the reservoir of bioactive compounds which have immense application in nutrition, industrial commodities and ecological studies. In the oceans, diatoms form a large bloom of silica under favourable conditions, whereas, in lentic and lotic systems, they colonize according to seasonal disturbances. Notably, the survival of diatoms in a stressed environment is because of their uniqueness; therefore, diatoms serve as an ideal candidate to understand the evolutionary paradigm and successional dynamics. This review outlines the biological uniqueness of diatoms, their role in biogeochemical cycles and the recolonization pattern of diatoms in anthropic disturbed habitats. Furthermore, a detailed discussion on different technologies for extracting valuable biomolecules with an emphasis on lipid extraction has been carried out. Moreover, the diatom-based photosynthetic biorefinery approach for a better understanding of the renewable usage of biomass is done. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
