| Feb 10, 2015 at 14:54 | comment | added | James | Its a bit expensive for me to get to a reef where these things grow :P But also it seems like thats all anyone has done and it doesn't tell them much. They have used crystallography, electron microscopy, atomic microscopy etc. From what I can tell all they have learned is that it looks pretty normal for an algae. My guess is that there needs to be something special in the cytoskeletal structure, but hopefully a specialist will come along and tell me why thats a silly idea! | |

Title changed to make it more of a question.

| Feb 9, 2015 at 20:05 | comment | added | James | From what I could find, it seems like people aren't interested in publishing things about why its big. jmicro.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/01/23/… Is the most recent relevent paper I can find and again, it just discusses the cell surface strcture as analagous to plants. Nothing about how it aids the cell to achieve such sizes. | |

| Feb 9, 2015 at 18:32 | comment | added | Jasand Pruski | the problem is diffusion: 1) maybe cytoplasmic streaming via cytoskeleton? You'd need to somehow add bulk flow in order to correct for the limits of diffusion. 2) Also I'm guessing an immensely large vacuole in the center, thus keeping the layer of cytoplasm really thin in order to permit diffusion to be the dominant form of transport... all guesses here... I'm too lazy to actually read about this algae... | |
