6 ) - photoproducts are degradation products of pigments following photooxidative damage - even within one group of microorganisms (e.g. diatoms) - considerable variation in amount of damage caused by UV radiation (as indicated by # of photoproducts induced - note log scale) - elongated &euml;needle-shaped&iacute; pennate diatoms are more sensitive (i.e. produce more photoproducts) than circular rod-shaped centric diatoms - amount of initial damage by UV (measured as photoproducts induced) and survival - negatively correlated ( Fig.
