Molecular Mechanisms in Cell Wall Assembly and Calcification of Marine Phytoplankton
1989
Gonzalez, Elma | Chapman, David J.
This research program involves studies on the molecular and cellular basis for the calcification of the cell walls of coccolithophorids. The optimal conditions for growth and mineralization of Coccolithus pelagicus are being identified. The impact of environmental conditions such as light intensity, pH and mineral nutrition on the extent of coccolithogenesis and on the fidelity of coccolith morphology are being examined by means of light microscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Keywords: Coccolithophorids, Calcification, Golgi, Membranes, Proteins.
