Deskripsi
Coccolithophores are unicellular marine algae that produce calcitic particles inside their cells. Here the authors study cells of the dominant coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyiand identify an intracellular compartment that is filled with high concentrations of a disordered form of calcium.
