Effects of iron availability on pigment signature and biogenic silica production in the coastal diatom Chaetoceros gracilis

Effects of iron availability on pigment signature and biogenic silica production in the coastal diatom Chaetoceros gracilis

The effects of iron availability on pigment signature and biogenic silica production were investigated for the first time in the coastal diatom Chaetoceros gracilis (isolated from the SW coast of the Bay of Bengal, India). Results revealed that increase in iron supply considerably increases chloroph...
