Modification of the physical and optical properties of the frustule of the diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii by nickel sulfate

In this paper we demonstrate how the photonic properties of a diatom can be altered by growth with a metal pollutant. Both the optical and physical properties of the silica frustule of the diatom Coscinodiscus wailesii were affected by the presence of nickel sulfate in sea water. It was found that a...
