Researchers have shown that coccolith disks made of calcium carbonate in <em>Emiliania huxleyi</em>, one of the promising biomass resources, potentially perform roles ...

Emiliania huxleyi is a one-celled alga that lives inside a shell of coccoliths. Courtesy Gerhard Langer, Alfred Wegener Institute Oceanographers of all kinds know Emiliania huxleyi by the nickname ...

RECENTLY, the use of the electron microscope in investigating the form of fossil coccoliths has been reported by Deflandre and Fert 1, and a preliminary revision of the taxonomy has been given by ...

When 19th-century British biologist Thomas Henry Huxley first put seafloor mud under a microscope, he found tiny round and oval particles in abundance. Not knowing what they were, he dubbed them ...

A Rutgers-led team of scientists studying virus-host interactions of a globally abundant, armor-plated marine algae, Emiliania huxleyi, has found that the circular, chalk plates the algae produce can ...

England’s White Cliffs of Dover are certainly an impressive sight. The sheer cliffs, made of bright white chalk, rise as high as 350 feet above the shoreline. Despite the fact that the chalk is over ...
