Abstract
The genetically-controlled formation of complex-shaped inorganic materials by living organisms is an intriguing phenomenon. It illustrates our incomplete understanding of biological morphogenesis and demonstrates the feasibility of ecologically benign routes for materials technology. Amorphous SiO2 (silica) is taxonomically the most widespread biomineral, with diatoms, a large group of single-celled microalgae, being the most prolific producers....
