Coccolithophores are major producers of ocean biogenic calcite, but this process is
predicted to be negatively affected by future ocean acidification scenarios. Since …

Marine coccolithophorid phytoplankton are major producers of biogenic calcite, playing a
significant role in the global carbon cycle. Predicting the impacts of ocean acidification on …

Ocean acidification will potentially inhibit calcification by marine organisms; however, the
response of the most prolific ocean calcifiers, coccolithophores, to this perturbation remains …

Coccolithophores are a group of unicellular phytoplankton species whose ability to calcify
has a profound influence on biogeochemical element cycling. Calcification rates are …

A large percentage of CO 2 emitted into the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, causing
chemical changes in surface waters known as ocean acidification (OA). Despite the high …

Calcium storage organelles are common to all eukaryotic organisms and play a pivotal role
in calcium signaling and cellular calcium homeostasis. In most organelles, the …

Coccolithophores represent a major component of the marine phytoplankton and contribute
to the bulk of biogenic calcite formation on Earth. These unicellular protists produce minute …

Marine phytoplankton have developed the remarkable ability to tightly regulate the
concentration of free calcium ions in the intracellular cytosol at a level of~ 0.1 μmol L− 1 in …

The emergence of ocean acidification as a significant threat to calcifying organisms in
marine ecosystems creates a pressing need to understand the physiological and molecular …

The evolutionary advantages afforded by phytoplankton calcification remain enigmatic. In
this work, fluoroelectrochemical experiments reveal that the presence of a CaCO3 shell of a …
