Silicon Biomineralization : Biology - Biochemistry - Molecular Biology - Biotechnology / edited by Werner E.G. Müller.

During evolution silica deposition has been used in Protozoa, Metazoa and in plants as skeletal elements. It appears that the mechanisms for the formation of biogenic silica have evolved independently in these three taxa. In Protozoa and plants biosilicification appears to be primarily driven by non...
