The composition of organic matter in biogenic calcium carbonate has long been a mystery, and its role has not received sufficient attention This study is aimed at elucidating the biomineralisation and stability of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite
Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP) is a naturally occurring biological process in which microbes produce inorganic
Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541
Biomineralization is a biosynthetic process by which biominerals ( eg bones, teeth, and seashells) are formed under mild conditions at ordinary temperatures and
The applications of bacterially produced carbonate biominerals for improving the durability of buildings, remediation of environment (water and soil),
Biominerals are inorganic solid state structures formed by biological systems and in most cases are created to fulfil specific functions requiring hard and
The partially assembled genome sequence of a representative isolate revealed an atypical structure of the magnetosome gene cluster while geochemical
The biosynthesis of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) minerals through a metabolic process known as microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) between diverse microorganisms, and
Limestone’s link to biomineralisation When marine organisms reach the end of their life, the soft body parts decay but the hard body parts remain These hard body parts, such as shells and skeletal parts, were formed by calcium carbonate biomineralisation Over time, there is an accumulation of this shell debris, and eventually, limestone
The composition of organic matter in biogenic calcium carbonate has long been a mystery, and its role has not received sufficient attention This study is aimed at elucidating the biomineralisation and stability of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite containing organic matter, as induced by Bacillus subtilisThe results showed that the
21 Bacterially influenced mineralization of calcium carbonates This mode of mineralization has been sometimes named organomineralization by Trichet and Défarge A broad diversity of molecules, mostly (glyco)proteins and polysaccharides, has been shown to impact the nucleation of carbonates in eukaryotes and metazoans
Calcium carbonate generates seven structural forms: calcite, monohydrocalcite, ikaite, aragonite, vaterite, hemihydrate calcium carbonate, and amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), among which calcite is the most stable structural form at normal temperature and pressure 7–12 The process and mechanism of calcite biomineralisation have been
These are mainly calcite and aragonite crystalline structures (as they are the most stable) but less stable vaterite and amorphous calcium carbonate are also found as biominerals, although are less common, with amorphous calcium carbonate, whewellite/weddellite (CaC 2 O 4 (2)H 2 O) mainly found in plants or fungi as a mineral storage mechanism for

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP) is a naturally occurring biological process in which microbes produce inorganic materials as part of their basic metabolic activities This technology has been widely explored and promising with potential in various technical applications In the present review, the detailed
In this paper we discuss some of our recent contributions to the specific field of calcium carbonate mineralisation, which we have approached from the pointofview of coordination chemistry In particular, we set out to see if by using some rather simple organic carboxylatecontaining molecules it could be possible to shed some light on how Nature
skeleton is the calcium phosphate mineral called carbonate hydroxyapatite Nevertheless, all vertebrates also form calcium carbonate as part of their gravity and sound reception detectors1 Calcium, carbonate, and phosphate are also integral components of the metabolism of every cell, serving fundamental roles in signal transduction and protein
Calcium carbonate generates seven structural forms: calcite, monohydrocalcite, ikaite, aragonite, vaterite, hemihydrate calcium carbonate, and amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), among which calcite is the most stable structural form at normal temperature and pressure 7–12 The process and mechanism of calcite
An ecofriendly strategy to improve the strength of concrete with FA and RCA might be the biomineralisation method which introduces bacterial solution, nutrition, and calcium ions into concrete and utilise bacterialinduced calcium carbonate to improve the properties of concrete (Achal et al, 2011b; Liu et al, 2021b)
Amorphous calcium carbonate in biomineralisation The notion that many organisms produce amorphous minerals such as silica, calcium phosphate, or calcium carbonate (ACC) has a long history, but it was not until the late 1960s that the first transient amorphous phase was identified in chiton teeth9 Since then there has
Among them, calcium carbonate precipitation caused by microbial hydrolysis of urea is the most hotly researched [81–83] Naturally occurring microorganisms capable of inducing calcium carbonate precipitation consist of cyanobacteria, sulfatereducing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, and the most studied ureaseproducing bacteria
Calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate systems are then presented and we conclude with a return to the amorphous silicabased cell walls of plants and diatoms We say almost, because, while the use of calcium phosphates for biomineralisation is an invention of some vertebrates,
