Mineralization of CaCO3 in the presence of egg white lysozyme.
The influence of egg white lysozyme on the size, shape, crystallography, and chemical composition of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) particles obtained from aqueous CaCl2-dimethyl carbonate (DMC)-NaOH solutions was studied. At the onset of precipitation, the presence of lysozyme led to much smaller particles (50-400 nm spherical amorphous lysozyme-calcium carbonate particles (Ly-ACC)) than th...
متن کاملBacterially induced mineralization of calcium carbonate: the role of exopolysaccharides and capsular polysaccharides.
Bacterially induced carbonate mineralization has been proposed as a new method for the restoration of limestones in historic buildings and monuments. We describe here the formation of calcite crystals by extracellular polymeric substances isolated from Bacillus firmus and Bacillus sphaericus. We isolated bacterial outer structures (glycocalix and parietal polymers), such as exopolysaccharides (...
متن کاملBio-inspired motifs via tandem assembly of polypeptides for mineralization of stable CaCO3 structures.
A macromolecular-assembly of polypeptides constructs a network of anionic and cationic charges vital for recognizing and coassembling Ca(2+) and CO(3)(2-) ions to mineralize and stabilize different mineral forms of CaCO(3) with core-shell or solid morphologies in an aqueous solution.
متن کاملBacterially Speaking
Bacteria use a variety of means to communicate with one another and with their eukaryotic hosts. In some cases, social interactions allow bacteria to synchronize the behavior of all of the members of the group and thereby act like multicellular organisms. By contrast, some bacterial social engagements promote individuality among members within the group and thereby foster diversity. Here we exp...
متن کاملFabrication of novel core-shell microspheres consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes and CaCO3 through biomimetic mineralization
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the presence of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) /fullerodendron supramolecular nanocomposites was crystallized with a CO2 diffusion method under ambient conditions and in aqueous environments to produce monodisperse spherical SWCNT/CaCO3 hybrids with a core-shell structure. The crystals nucleate at the carboxyl groups on the surface of the SWCNT/fullerodendron...
