Physiological control of diatom sedimentation

The specific physiological mechanisms governing the process of diatom sedimentation were not well understood. This study investigated the possibility of a short term energy requirement for buoyancy maintenance in marine diatoms which varied predictably with physiological state. The maximum sinkin...
