In cells of a culture of the large diatom Ditylum brightwellii (T. West) Grunow acclimated to weak light (17 μmol photons/(m2 × s)), numerous chloroplasts were evenly distributed throughout the cell cytoplasm. After 10 min of exposure of algae to extremely high illumination (1100 μmol photons/(m2 × s)), their aggregates gradually formed in the center of the cell, which continued until the end of the two-hour exposure period. At light intensities of 510–935 µmol/(photons/(m2 × s) during short-ter
