Microbial Surface Colonization and Biofilm Development in Marine Environments (2015, background): “Silica regeneration from diatom detritus (183, 184), H2 production, H2 oxidation-related energy metabolism and dark primary production (185), as well as many other biogeochemical cycling processes are driven by surface-associated microbial activities.”
Si and C interactions in the world ocean: Importance of ecological processes and implications for the role of diatoms in the biological pump (2006, background): “cumulative effect of proteolytic attack over the depth range sampled, strongly correlated with dissolution rates measured at the depth of the lower bound of the integration [Bidle et al., 2003].”
