A Critical Survey of BiomineralizationBiominerals and Their Function in Different Organisms

A Critical Survey of Biomineralization: Biominerals and Their Function in Different Organisms [Very different forms of biomineralization have developed during evolution. Organisms which adopted mineralization during their evolution are found in almost all groups of living organisms, ranging from bacteria to mammals. Different minerals of different composition were selected not only because of their functional properties, but also by their availability in the habitat of the particular organism.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Very different forms of biomineralization have developed during evolution. Organisms which adopted mineralization during their evolution are found in almost all groups of living organisms, ranging from bacteria to mammals. Different minerals of different composition were selected not only because of their functional properties, but also by their availability in the habitat of the particular organism.]
