A stylized scientific illustration depicts the valve view of a siliceous diatom frustule from the species Navicula lyra. The unicellular eukaryote (type: microalga) shows an elongated, naviculoid outline with bilateral symmetry, a continuous longitudinal raphe, a central area, and dense, parallel striae extending toward the margins. In biological hierarchy, it represents a single cell within Bacillariophyta (diatoms). In phycology and microbiology, this organism performs oxygenic photosynthesis, contributing to primary production and silica cycling. The site shown is the external valve face of the frustule.
