Enhanced Vaterite And Aragonite Crystallization At Controlled Ethylene Glycol Concentrations [PDF]
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2019 Calciumcarbonate (CaCO3) has three distinct anhydrous polymorphs, namelyvaterite, aragonite and calcite. Although there is a high demand for aragoniteand vaterite polymorphs for biomedical use, their unstable nature makes itchallenging to synthesize them

Experimental investigation of calcium carbonate mineralogy in past and future oceans [PDF]
, 2011 Inorganic marine calcium carbonate formation and mineralogy varies significantly concurrent with the solution composition. During the Phanerozoic, due to oscillations in the seawater composition, this resulted in the formation of either dominantly ...

Timing Matters: Post-Stress Biostimulant Application Promotes Growth Recovery and Physiological Rebalancing in Drought-Stressed Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT As climate change intensifies drought across the Mediterranean basin, safeguarding durum wheat, a cornerstone of regional agriculture, is a global priority. This study evaluated the efficacy of a novel biostimulant, containing glycine betaine, vaterite, and Pseudomonas protegens, with a specific focus on a critical factor: the application ...

Mechanism of bacteriophage-induced vaterite formation
Scientific ReportsThis study shows how bacterial viruses (bacteriophages, phages) interact with calcium carbonate during precipitation from aqueous solution. Using electron microscopy, epifluorescence microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and image analysis, we demonstrate that ...
