Characterization of the CaCO3 biomineral in coralline red algae (Corallinales) from the Pacific coast of Mexico
Coralline red algae assimilate HCO3– to precipitate CaCO3 in their tissues in the form of calcite or aragonite. A characterization of the biomolecular content and the crystalline structure of the biomineral of coralline red algae from the Pacific coast of Mexico was performed by powder X-ray diffra...
