Direct evidence of the molecular basis for biological silicon transport

Diatoms sheath themselves in a self-made casing of silica, which requires the function of silicic acid transporters. Here, the authors identify versions of these transporters that are experimentally tractable, and develop a fluorescence method to study silicic acid transport in vitro.
