Summary Introduction

To review:

The comparison of eukaryotic microbes with inorganic shells or plates with respect to their composition and mode of growth.

Introduction:

Eukaryotic microbes with inorganic shells and plates are present across many species. They are mostly found in marine environments. The presence of these organisms is essential for maintaining balance in the ecosystem due to the physical nature of these shells. They can serve as indicators of the evolutionary history of marine ecosystems and climate change.
