Unexpected silicon localization in calcium carbonate exoskeleton of cultured and fossil coccolithophores

Abstract Coccolithophores, marine calcifying phytoplankton, are important primary producers impacting the global carbon cycle at different timescales. Their biomineral structures, the calcite containing coccoliths, are among the most elaborate hard parts of any organism. Understanding the morphogene...
