Diatoms
Diatoms are single-celled algae that live in houses made of glass.
They are the only organism on the planet with cell walls composed of transparent, opaline silica. Diatom cell walls are ornamented by intricate and striking patterns of silica.
Through carbon fixation, diatoms remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
The CO2 is converted to organic carbon in the form of sugar, and oxygen
(O2) is released.
Diatoms are responsible for 20% of global carbon fixation and 40% of marine primary productivity. Thus they are major contributors to climate change processes, and form a substantial basis of the marine food web.
We breathe the oxygen that diatoms release.
