Abstract
AbstractDiatoms are unicellular phototrophic organisms with huge ecological impact. Characteristic for these organisms is their peculiar cell wall, which is composed of inorganic and organic components. Cell wall formation is a highly complex and orchestrated process, and in the last years has been studied intensively, also on the molecular level. Here, we review on the cell wall proteins of diatoms, with a focus on the speciesThalassiosira pseudonana. We report on the expression patterns of these proteins in synchronized cultures, as well as their modifications and intracellular targeting.
