Autotrophic heterokonts do not consume other organisms and produce energy by harvesting light, whereas heterotrophic heterokonts obtain their energy by consuming other organisms regardless of the presence of light.
===========================================
The above is actually a good answer although a little difficult to understand. (although heterotrophic heterokonts are NOT carnivores).
In essence the diatoms that yu are thinking about (the ones that live on light) do not eat bacteria when placed in the dark.

no, because it cannot see. hahaha!
What do rotifers eat?
they eat tiny little turquoise bacteria Those little turquoise bacteria are called diatoms FYI ~leftyness~ :)
In absence of light what can eat bacteria?
In the absence of light, bacteria can still obtain energy through chemosynthesis by making use of inorganic compounds such as sulfur or iron. This process allows them to create their own food source without the need for photosynthesis.
What do amoeboids eat?
Amoeboids will eat pretty much anything smaller than themselves, inlcuding bacteria, diatoms, and cilliates.

Do krill eat diatoms?
Yes, krill do eat diatoms. Diatoms are a type of microscopic algae that krill feed on as part of their diet. These tiny plants are an important food source for many marine organisms, including krill.
What animals eat diatom?
Many aquatic organisms consume diatoms. Diatoms are an important type of primary producer in marine and freshwater systems and are a type of algae. In marine systems, many zooplankton and some small fish consume diatoms.
