Genome-Scale Model Reveals Metabolic Basis of Biomass Partitioning in a Model Diatom.

Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae that contain genes from various sources, including bacteria and the secondary endosymbiotic host. Due to this unique combination of genes, diatoms are taxonomically and functionally distinct from other algae and vascular plants and confer novel metabolic capabilitie...
