The role of seawater endocytosis in the biomineralization process in calcareous foraminifera.
Foraminifera are unicellular organisms that inhabit the oceans in various ecosystems. The majority of the foraminifera precipitate calcitic shells and are among the major CaCO(3) producers in the oceans. They comprise an important component of the global carbon cycle and also provide valuable paleoceanographic information based on the relative abundance of stable isotopes and trace elements (pr...
متن کاملThe Source of Ions for Biomineralization in Foraminifera and Their Implications for Paleoceanographic Proxies
The global carbon cycle is strongly perturbed by fossil fuel burning leading to atmospheric CO2 increase. Climatic warming followed by polar ice melting and global sea level rise are predicted due to the greenhouse effect of increasing CO2 in the atmosphere (Houghton et al. 1995). The ocean plays a major role in neutralizing the excess CO2 because the amount of inorganic carbon available for ex...

متن کاملActin Phylogeny of Foraminifera
Molecular phylogenies of foraminifera are commonly inferred from the small subunit rRNA (SSU) genes, which can easily be obtained from single cells isolated from environmental samples. The SSU phylogenies, however, are often biased by heterogeneity of substitution rates, and their resolution of higher level relationships is often very low. The sequences of protein-coding genes provide an import...
