Gephyrocapsa huxleyi ( Emiliania huxleyi ) as a model system for coccolithophore biology
Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu CEX2019-000940-M Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying organisms in modern oceans and are important primary producers in many marine ecosystems. Their ability to generate a cellular covering of calcium carbonate plates (coccoliths) plays a major role...
