Study Unravels Pathway Used by Diatoms for Removing CO2 from Atmosphere

Study Unravels Pathway Used by Diatoms for Removing CO2 from Atmosphere Diatoms are small unicellular plants that do not grow bigger than half a millimeter. These plants populate the surface water of the world’s oceans where penetration of sunlight is abundant. Image Credit: Diana Will/Shutterstock.com In spite of having a modest size, the diatoms are considered as one of the strongest resources in the world for carbon dioxide (CO 2) removal from the air. Now, they eliminate, or “fix,” 10 to 20 billion metric tons of CO 2 annually with the help of photosynthesis. However, there is not much knowledge gained regarding which biological mechanisms are used by the diatoms, and if these processes may turn out to be less effective with increasing temperatures, ocean acidity, and especially CO

Study: Oceans Microscopic Plants Hold Keys To CO2

Study: Oceans Microscopic Plants Hold Keys to CO2 Capture © meenkulathiamma/AdobeStock A first-of-its-kind study suggests that microscopic seawater plants, called diatoms, initially capture carbon dioxide (CO2) by biophysical, rather than biochemical, processes. Diatoms remove as much CO2 as all of the world’s forests combined and it’s vital to understand how this process will respond to rising CO2 levels. This study presents initial evidence about precisely which mechanisms diatoms use in natural oceanic conditions and how sensitive they might be to changing ocean conditions. Diatoms are tiny unicellular plants no bigger than half a millimeter which inhabit the surface water of the world’s oceans where sunlight penetration is plenty. Despite their modest size, they are one of the world’s most powerful resources for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They currently remove, or “fix,” 10 – 20 billion metric tons of CO2 every year by the process of

Oceans microscopic plants -- diatoms -- capture carbon dioxide via biophysical pathways

E-Mail Diatoms are tiny unicellular plants no bigger than half a millimeter which inhabit the surface water of the world s oceans where sunlight penetration is plenty. Despite their modest size, they are one of the world s most powerful resources for removing carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere. They currently remove, or fix, 10-20 billion metric tons of CO 2 every year by the process of photosynthesis. But not much is known about which biological mechanisms diatoms use, and whether these processes might become less effective with rising ocean acidity, temperatures, and, in particular, CO 2 concentrations.
