Biomineralization Top Open Access Journals

The hardened tissue is called mineralized tissue. In biology, mineralization mention to a procedure of where an inorganic matter precipitates in an organic matrix. This may be due to normal biological processes that used to go on during the life of an organism, such as the formation of bones, eggshells, teeth, coral and other exoskeletons. Biomineralization is the process by which living creatures produce minerals. Biomineralization processes often lead to hardening or stiffening of mineralized materials. This includes the formation of silicates in algae and diatoms, carbonates in invertebrates and phosphates and calcium carbonates in the hard tissues of vertebrates.

Biomineralization describes the deposit of minerals inside or outside the cells of living organisms. Examples include iron and gold deposits in bacteria and other single-celled organisms, silicates in algae and diatoms, carbonates in diatoms and nonvertebrates, and calcium phosphates and carbonates in vertebrates. The formation of these deposits involves similar mechanisms, but there are distinctions in each case, and these similarities and distinctions are the subject of this overview. A comparison of the apatitic mineral in bones and teeth is presented as a model for understanding all the factors.
