Modeling the elemental stoichiometry and silicon accumulation in diatoms
Diatoms are important microorganisms involved in global primary production, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. A unique feature of diatoms is their silica frustules, which impact sinking speed, defense against predators and viruses, and growth cycling. Thus, frustules are inherently linked...
