High Growth Rate of Diatoms Explained by Reduced Carbon Requirement and Low Energy Cost of Silica Deposition

High Growth Rate of Diatoms Explained by Reduced Carbon Requirement and Low Energy Cost of Silica Deposition

ABSTRACT The rapid growth of diatoms makes them one of the most pervasive and productive types of plankton in the world’s ocean, but the physiological basis for their high growth rates remains poorly understood. Here, we evaluate the factors that elevate diatom growth rates, relative to other plankt...
