This project investigates the role of Rhizaria in the ocean's silicon cycle, focusing on their silicification processes and variability in silicic acid uptake. By analyzing genetic data and silica deposition, it aims to enhance understanding of these organisms' contributions to marine ecosystems.
Silicon (Si) is a major nutrient in the global ocean, required for growth by a variety of distantly related organisms, including microalgae, sponges and rhizarians.
Silicifying Rhizaria were among the first protists to inhabit the ocean and, together with sponges, dominated the biogenic silica production during the Cambrian era.
These organisms became an important, though poorly understood, component of marine ecosystems.
In the contemporary ocean, diatoms are thought to dominate the planktonic…
