Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation of ornamental stone by Myxococcus xanthus-induced carbonate biomineralization.

Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is reported that Myxococcus xanthus-induced calcium carbonate precipitation efficiently protects and consolidates porous ornamental limestone and forms new carbonate crystals that are more stress resistant than the calcite grains of the original stone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterially mediated mineralization of vaterite

Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations point to polymorph selection by physicochemical (kinetic) factors (high supersaturation) and stabilization by organics, both connected with bacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Precipitation and Growth Morphology of Calcium Carbonate Induced by Myxococcus Xanthus: Implications for Recognition of Bacterial Carbonates

Kaoutar Ben Chekroun, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that calcite and vaterite formed in a gel medium in the presence of Myxococcus xanthus display a range of morphologies that depend on whether the bacteria are live or dead.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consolidation of degraded ornamental porous limestone stone by calcium carbonate precipitation induced by the microbiota inhabiting the stone.

Concepcion Jimenez-Lopez, +5 more
- 01 Aug 2007 - 
TL;DR: A good candidate to in situ consolidate decayed porous limestone is the application of a sterile culture medium with the characteristics specified in the present study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial biomineralization: new insights from Myxococcus-induced mineral precipitation

Maria Teresa Gonzalez-Muñoz, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: This review strives to show that the mechanisms which control bacterial biomineralization are not mineral- or bacterial-specific, on the contrary, they appear to be universal and depend on the environment in which bacteria dwell.
