Carbonate mineral formation under the influence of limestone-colonising actinobacteria: morphology and polymorphism

Carbonate mineral formation under the influence of limestone-colonising actinobacteria: morphology and polymorphism

Microorganisms and their biomineralisation processes are widespread in almost every environment on earth. In this work, Streptomyces luteogriseus DHS C014, a dominant lithophilous actinobacteria isolated from microbial mats on limestone rocks, was used to investigate its potential biomineralisation...
