Biomineralization Cell Biology and Mineral Deposition

Biomineralization is the process that produces the skeletons, shells, and teeth of most animals. It is also involved in magnetic orientation, gravity detection, and the storing of ions. This book compares a diverse number of systems, including mineral deposition of invertebrates, vertebrates, algae, and microorganisms. Emphasis is placed on the systems responsible for converting ions to minerals and the mechanisms and control of mineral form.Simkiss, Kenneth is the author of 'Biomineralization Cell Biology and Mineral Deposition' with ISBN 9780126438307 and ISBN 0126438307.
