Calcium carbonates: induced biomineralization with ...
2020-7-24 · observed. Here, isolates from limestone-associated ground-water, rock and soil were shown to form calcite, magne-sium calcite or vaterite. More than 92% of isolates were in-deed able to form carbonates, while abiotic controls failed to form minerals. The crystal morphologies varied, including rhombohedra, prisms and pyramid-like macromorphologies.
