Popis: The centric marine diatom Cyclotella sp. requires silicon in the form of Si(OH)4 for cell wall biosynthesis, makes lipids for biofuels, and extrudes novel chitin nanofibers as a valued co-product for biomedical and nutraceutical applications. Due to the low solubility of Si(OH)4 in seawater (
