X-ray nanotomography of coccolithophores reveals that coccolith mass and segment number correlate with grid size

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: T. Beuvier from the Faculté have published the Article: X-ray nanotomography of coccolithophores reveals that coccolith mass and segment number correlate with grid size, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 20/01/2018
  • what: As the grid size of mature coccoliths is related to the OBPS size around which nucleation and growth of the coccoliths took place, the authors propose that the outer perimeter of the OBPS fixes the CaCO3 nucleation site number (with one site every 110-120 nm) and as a consequence the segment number. The work shows also . . .
