Inorganic carbon physiology underpins macroalgal responses to elevated CO2.

abstract：:The ability to form mineral structures under biological control is widespread among animals. In several species, specific proteins have been shown to be involved in biomineralization, but it is uncertain how they influence the shape of the growing biomineral and the resulting skeleton. Calcareous sponges are the only ...
