Intracellular nitrate storage by diatoms can be an important nitrogen pool in freshwater and marine ecosystems

Intracellular nitrate storage by diatoms can be an important nitrogen pool in freshwater and marine ecosystems

The accumulation and storage of nitrate by diatoms can contribute up to 1% of total pelagic nitrate and as much as 95% of total benthic nitrate, which indicates a potentially important contribution of diatoms to benthic nitrogen cycling, according to a global analysis
