The uronic acid content of coccolith-associated polysaccharides provides insight into coccolithogenesis and past climate

Coccolith-associated polysaccharides (CAPs) are central for the biomineralization of marine algae. Here, Leeet al. show that CAPs can be isolated from extant and fossil samples and that their uronic acid content can be used as a palaeoclimate proxy.
