Polymorph selectivity of coccolith-associated polysaccharides from gephyrocapsa oceanica on calcium carbonate formation in vitro

Coccolith‐associated polysaccharides (CAPs) are thought to be a key part of the biomineralization process in coccolithophores; however, their role is not fully understood. Two different systems that promote different polymorphs of calcium carbonate are used to show the effect of CAPs on nucleation a...
