Coccolith arrangement follows Eulerian mathematics in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi

BACKGROUND: The globally abundant coccolithophore, Emiliania huxleyi, plays an important ecological role in oceanic carbon biogeochemistry by forming a cellular covering of plate-like CaCO(3) crystals (coccoliths) and fixing CO(2). It is unknown how the cells arrange different-sized coccoliths to ma...
