What is a Coccolithophore? Fact Sheet

At any one time a single coccolithophore is attached to or surrounded by at least 30 scales. Additional coccoliths are dumped into the water when the Coccolithophores multiply asexually, die or simply make too many scales. In areas with trillions of Coccolithophores, the waters will turn an opaque turquoise from the dense cloud of coccoliths.

Multifaceted Contributions of Coccolithophores to Ocean …

Coccolithophores exhibit various morphological features and sizes, with cell sizes typically ranging from 3 to 40 μm [].The test formed by coccoliths (known as coccosphere) may be cylindrical, ellipsoidal, fusiform, obpyriform, ovoid, or spherical [].Coccoliths are produced intercellularly in the Golgi apparatus [], serving as an important basis for taxonomy.

Coccolithophores are part of the organic carbon pump as they are phytoplankton and their photosynthesis fixes CO2 from the atmosphere; also, they are a part of the carbonate …

On the Genesis and Function of Coccolithophore Calcification

The functional group of coccolithophores consists of calcifying eukaryotic unicellular phytoplankton that produces minuscule CaCO 3 structures, named coccoliths, surrounding the cell, and forming a coccosphere. Coccolithophores occupy an important role in carbon cycling dynamics over short and geological time scales due to the process …

Coccolithophore biomineralization: New questions, new …

Coccolithophores are single celled marine photosynthetic protists belonging to the Haptophyte division of the chromalveolate eukaryotes. They are significant components of the marine phytoplankton with certain species, such as the cosmopolitan Emiliania huxleyi able to form massive blooms in temperate and sub-polar waters. …
