Understanding Diatom Cell Wall Silicification—Moving Forward (2018, background): “valves and girdle bands, both structures contain nanoparticulate silica on their distal surfaces (Hildebrand et al., 2006), and knockdown of SAP3 prevented formation of the distal valve nanoparticulate silica, perhaps SAP3 performs a general function of facilitating distal nanoparticulate silica for”
Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs (2012, background): “Further probing reveals ordered assemblies of proteins, lipids and polysaccharides that form the subcellular constituents and nanoporous regions in the SiO2 nH2O cage [160].”
SYNCHRONIZED GROWTH OF THALASSIOSIRA PSEUDONANA (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) PROVIDES NOVEL INSIGHTS INTO CELL‐WALL SYNTHESIS PROCESSES IN RELATION TO THE CELL CYCLE 1 (2007, background): “The SEM measurements of valves in T. pseudonana (Hildebrand et al. 2006) revealed a highly conserved diameter with no indication of a graded reduction over time, and under normal growth conditions, auxospores were rarely seen.”
