Abstract
In this review, all known information on endophytic diatom species and their macrophytic hosts is summarized and a history of studies of endophytic diatoms is provided. The mechanism by which endophytic diatoms penetrate into the thallus of macroalgae and the effect that the symbionts have on each other are discussed. The possible patterns of relationships between endophytic diatoms and basiphytes are analyzed based on literature data.
