Biomineralization Mechanism of the Pearl Oyster, Pinctada fucata by Rongqing Zhang
English | EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 750 Pages | ISBN : 9811314586 | 149.9 MB

This book presents an overview of our current understanding of the biomineralization mechanisms for shell formation in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata, based on molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, structural biology and environmental biology. Pinctada fucata is the major pearl-producing shellfish in the South China Sea and is also an established model system for the research on the nacre biomineralization mechanism.

Pinctada fucata is the major pearl-producing shellfish in the South China Sea and is also an established model system for the research on the nacre biomineralization mechanism. Extensive studies on nacre biomineralization have provided valuable information for novel bionic material design. Discussing the isolation and gene cloning of the matrix proteins involved in the shell formation, as well as the cell signaling pathways, shell microstructures, and the environmental impacts on shell biomineralization, it is a valuable reference resource for researchers working in the field of nacre biomineralization and biomaterials.

Molecular Biomineralization: Aquatic Organisms Forming Extraordinary Materials

Molecular Biomineralization: Aquatic Organisms Forming Extraordinary Materials

Molecular Biomineralization: Aquatic Organisms Forming Extraordinary Materials by Werner E. G. Müller
English | PDF | 2011 | 403 Pages | ISBN : 3642212298 | 11.2 MB

The concept of ‘biomineralization’ signifies mineralization processes that take place in close association with organic molecules or matrices. The awareness that mineral formation can be guided by organic molecules notably contributed to the understanding of the formation of the inorganic skeletons of living organisms. Modern electron microscopic and spectroscopic analyses have successfully demonstrated the participation of biological systems in several mineralization processes, and prominent examples include the formation of bio-silica in diatoms and sponges. This insight has already made the application of recombinant technology for the production of valuable inorganic polymers, such as bio-silica, possible. This polymer can be formed by silicatein under conditions that cannot be matched by chemical means. Similarly, the efforts described in this book have elucidated that certain organisms, bacteria in deep-sea polymetallic nodules and coccoliths in seamount crusts, are involved in the deposition of marine minerals.

Mineral Formation by Microorganisms: Concepts and Applications

Mineral Formation by Microorganisms: Concepts and Applications by Aydin Berenjian
English | EPUB | 2022 | 388 Pages | ISBN : 3030808068 | 27.5 MB

This book explains how microorganisms play a pivotal role in the formation of biominerals, including carbonates, silicate minerals and oxides. As readers will learn, these minerals may be produced either intracellularly or extracellularly in order to sustain microbial life. Experienced scientists from the field show that some of these biominerals can be produced in an active form, which involves direct enzymatic intervention to form precipitates. In addition, passive mineral formation can be mediated by the presence of dead cells.

Mineralogy: An Introduction to Minerals, Rocks, and Mineral Deposits by Martin Okrusch
English | PDF | 2020 | 711 Pages | ISBN : 3662573148 | 83.09 MB

This book presents a translation and update of the classic German textbook of Mineralogy and Petrology that has been published for decades. It provides an introduction to mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry, discussing the principles of mineralogy, including crystallography, chemical bonding, and physical properties, and the genesis of minerals in a didactic and understandable way. Illustrated with numerous figures and tables, it also features several sections dedicated to the genesis of mineral resources. The textbook reflects the authors’ many years of experience and is ideal for use in lectures on mineralogy and petrology.
