Evidence for a regulatory role of diatom silicon transporters in cellular silicon responses

Evidence for a regulatory role of diatom silicon transporters in cellular silicon responses

The utilization of silicon by diatoms has both global and small-scale implications, from oceanic primary productivity to nanotechnological applications of their silica cell walls. The sensing and transport of silicic acid are key aspects of understanding diatom silicon utilization. At low silicic ac...
