Diatoms are responsible for 20% of total carbon fixation that occurs on Earth. They also are being studied as potential chassis organisms to produce biofuels and other industrially relevant biological products. Current vessels for bioproduction such as bacteria, mammalian cells, or yeast require a lot of nutrients to grow and use for bioproduction. With diatoms being such a large contributor to the carbon cycle, they are a highly desirable sustainable option that can provide bioproduction in comparison to these other vessels. With the state of the world relying on a search for more environmentally friendly options, they offer a step into a sustainable future.
