Diatoms are the main producers in marine environment. So, they are also known as the 'pearls of ocean'. As walls of diatoms are made of silica, they do left behind a large amount of cell deposits in their habitat. This accumulation is called diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is gritty in nature and hence is used for polishing and, in filtration of oils and syrups.
