Bicarbonate transport and extracellular carbonic anhydrase in marine diatoms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, we present new laboratory results examining the relative importance of HCO(-)(3) transport and extracellular carbonic anhydrase (eCA) in 17 marine diatom species. We observed significant variability in both HCO(-)(3) transport and eCA expression across a range of diatom species with different cell morphologies. All species we examined took up HCO(-)(3) through a direct transport mechanism, with the fraction of HCO(-)(3) transport ranging from 40 to 95% of total C uptake. eCA expression also varied significantly, with catalytic enhancement factors ranging approximately 10-fold among species. There was a significant positive correlation between HCO(-)(3) transport and eCA expression among the test species. However, neither HCO(-)(3) transport nor eCA expression was significantly correlated to cell growth rates or surface area to volume ratios. We did observe weak positive trends between the ratio of C demand:supply and HCO(-)(3) utilization/eCA expression, but these were not statistically significant. We are thus unable to provide a mechanistic explanation for the apparent variability in HCO(-)(3) transport and eCA expression in marine diatoms. This variability may, nonetheless, have important implications for the physiological ecology of oceanic diatoms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
