technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the extraction of diatom frustules, in particular to a method for extracting complete and pure diatom frustules from single-cell diatoms. Background technique
[0002] Diatoms are a group of photoautotrophic unicellular eukaryotic algae that are widely distributed in marine and freshwater ecosystems around the world. It is one of the most important primary productivity in the marine ecosystem, which can produce 4.5-5 billion tons of organic carbon every year, accounting for 40% of the primary productivity of the ocean and 20% of the global primary productivity. Diatoms have very strong adaptability to the environment, grow rapidly, and some species can be cultivated on a large scale, and can accumulate a large amount of biomass in a short period of time. Diatom frustule (diatom frustule) is the cell wall of diatoms. It is a solid shell formed by absorbing silicate in the environment and depositing it through the biomineralizat...
