abstract = {Iron limitation often results in increased cellular silica
contents of diatoms, suggesting that diatoms grow thicker
and possibly mechanically stronger frustules when limited.
We performed stability measurements for six diatom species
grown under iron-limitation and iron-sufficient conditions.
Frustule strength increased in all species when grown under
iron limitation, with this effect being statistically
significant for four of them. Valve morphology and silica
content of the pennate Fragilariopsis kerguelensis and the
centric Coscinodiscus wailesii changed under iron limitation
but only valve morphology changes were significant; F.
kerguelensis grew thicker costae while C. wailesii had
smaller pores, especially in the outer part of the valves.
These morphological changes are clearly in agreement with
increased mechanical strength. Increased cellular silica
concentrations in diatoms grown under iron limitation do
result in increased frustule strength, most likely improving
their protection against grazers.},
