Deskripsi
Chain-forming diatoms are key organisms in the biotic transfer of CO2 from the atmosphere to the ocean interior. Here, the authors show that turbulence stimulates and links small-scale and large scale processes from CO2 assimilation at a diatom cell level to nitrogen cycling in fast-sinking diatom aggregates.
