The DiaMorphy project aims to identify the proteins involved in silica formation in diatoms, a type of microalgae. By studying genetic variations, it seeks to enhance understanding of biomineralization processes, which could lead to innovative material synthesis techniques.
Diatoms are a large group of unicellular, eukaryotic microalgae that biosynthesize SiO2 (silica)-based cell walls (frustules).
They are ubiquitously present in aquatic habitats and key primary producers in the oceans, contributing 20% of the annual photosynthetic CO2 fixation on earth.
The architectures of frustules are species specific, displaying intricate patterns of nano- and microscale features, and are believed to be of prime importance for the ecological success of diatoms.
