Deep-sea microbially influenced corrosion and biomineralization [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyMicrobially influenced corrosion (MIC) and biomineralization are widely observed in marine, deep-sea, freshwater, and soil ecosystems. Recently, MIC and biomineralization associated with biofouling have significantly impacted marine resources, including ...

The Magnetosome Model: Insights into the Mechanisms of Bacterial Biomineralization [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Though the most ready example of biomineralization is the calcium phosphate of vertebrate bones and teeth, many bacteria are capable of creating biominerals inside their cells.

Dynamic Remodeling of the Magnetosome Membrane Is Triggered by the Initiation of Biomineralization [PDF]
mBio, 2016 Magnetotactic bacteria produce chains of membrane-bound organelles that direct the biomineralization of magnetic nanoparticles. These magnetosome compartments are a model for studying the biogenesis and subcellular organization of bacterial organelles ...

Innate Biomineralization [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 In vertebrates, biomineralization is a feature considered unique to mature osteoblasts and odontoblasts by which they synthesize hydroxyapatite (HAP), which is deposited in the collagen matrix to construct endoskeleton. For many decades, the mechanisms that modulate differentiation and maturation of these specialized cells have been sought as a key to ...

A Bivalve Biomineralization Toolbox [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2021 Abstract Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalyzed by enzymes and shell matrix proteins (SMP). Developing a detailed understanding of bivalve mollusc biomineralization pathways is complicated not only by the multiplicity of shell forms and microstructures in this class, but also by the ...

Forced Biomineralization: A Review [PDF]
Biomimetics, 2021 Biologically induced and controlled mineralization of metals promotes the development of protective structures to shield cells from thermal, chemical, and ultraviolet stresses. Metal biomineralization is widely considered to have been relevant for the survival of life in the environmental conditions of ancient terrestrial oceans.
