• Understanding Diatom Cell Wall Silicification—Moving Forward (2018, methodology): “Silica polymerization in vitro by LCPAs required the presence of polyanions in the form of phosphate or pyrophosphate (Kröger et al., 2000), which prompted a search for polyanionic organic material embedded within diatom silica that could serve a similar function.”
• The dynamics of cyanobacterial silicification: an infrared micro-spectroscopic investigation 1 1 Associate editor: J. P. Amend (2004, background): “These structures, which are not cyanobacterial in origin, resemble hexagonal siliceous diatomaceous cell walls (frustules) which have been shown to use amphiphilic methylated polypeptides to create their intricate nano-pattern (Kröger et al., 1997, 2000; Sumper, 2002).”
