Understanding the sub-cellular dynamics of silicon transportation and synthesis in diatoms using population-level data and computational optimization.
Controlled synthesis of silicon is a major challenge in nanotechnology and material science. Diatoms, the unicellular algae, are an inspiring example of silica biosynthesis, producing complex and delicate nano-structures. This happens in several cell compartments, including cytoplasm and silica depo...
