Long-term observations of a marine planktonic plicate Thalassiosira species, T. cedarkeyensis Prasad, from
the Gulf coasts of Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi and the Atlantic coasts of Florida and Georgia demonstrate its wide occurrence in the southeastern United States and its ability to form extensive blooms. We also report for the first time its ability to form typical Thalassiosira chains, linking sibling cells by threads of chitin. A closely related and co-occurring diatom, T.
livingstoniorum, is described on the basis of investigations conducted during 2000–2011 as a new species from many localities
in Apalachee Bay on the Gulf coast and Indian River Lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida. It differs from T. cedarkeyensis
in areola density, presence of continuous cribra on loculate areolae, arrangement and distribution of valve processes, and the
number of satellite pores surrounding the valve-face fultoportulae.
