Single-entity coccolithophore electrochemistry shows size is no guide to the degree of calcification

We report single-entity measurements of the degree of calcification of individual phytoplankton cells. Electrogenerated acid is used to dissolve the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) shell (coccosphere) of individual coccolithophores and the changes in size are monitored by simultaneous optical measurements...
