  • when travelling waves patterns are employed [108]. For example, the smooth flagellum of sperm [109] and the tinsel-like flagellum of golden algae Ochromonas[12] beat in the same pattern, featuring waves travelling away from the cell body. In Ochromonas, this results in a swimming direction towards the

Graphical Abstract
  • , Germany 10.3762/bjnano.5.65 Abstract Chrysophyceae, also known as golden algae, contain characteristic, three-dimensional biomineralized silica structures. Their chemical composition and microscopic structure was studied. By high-temperature conversion of the skeleton of Mallomonas caudata and Synura
  • petersenii into elementary silicon by magnesium vapour, nanostructured defined replicates were produced which were clearly seen after removal of the formed magnesium oxide with acid.

  • magnesium oxide occurs onto the diatoms [9]. Shen et al. have demonstrated the chemical transformation of diatoms into silicon by magnesium [17]. The chrysophytes sensu lato, also commonly referred to as golden algae because of the yellowish colour of their chloroplast, belong to the Stramenopiles [18
