Gephyrocapsa huxleyi ( Emiliania huxleyi ) as a model system for coccolithophore biology

Coccolithophores are the most abundant calcifying organisms in modern oceans and are important primary producers in many marine ecosystems. Their ability to generate a cellular covering of calcium carbonate plates (coccoliths) plays a major role in marine biogeochemistry and the global carbon cycle....
