Marine and freshwater micropearls: biomineralization producing strontium-rich amorphous calcium carbonate inclusions is widespread in the genus <i>Tetraselmis</i> (Chlorophyta)

<p>Unicellular algae play important roles in the biogeochemical cycles of numerous elements, particularly through the biomineralization capacity of certain species (e.g., coccolithophores greatly contributing to the <q>organic carbon pump</q> of the oceans), and unidentified act...
