Seawater carbonate chemistry and diatom silica production in the Southern Ocean

Diatoms, large bloom-forming marine microorganisms, build frustules out of silicate, which ballasts the cells and aids their export to the deep ocean. This unique physiology...

硅藻是一类可形成大规模水华的海洋微生物，其以硅酸盐为基质构建硅质壳（frustules），该结构可为细胞提供压载并助力其沉降至深海。这一独特的生理特性……
