Barite in the ocean – occurrence, geochemistry and palaeoceanographic applications

The mineral barite (BaSO4) can precipitate in a variety of oceanic settings: in the water column, on the sea floor and within marine sediments. The geological setting where barite forms ultimately determines the geochemistry of the precipitated mineral and its usefulness for various applications. Specifically, the isotopic and elemental composition of major and trace elements in barite carry in...

Precipitation of barite by Myxococcus xanthus: possible implications for the biogeochemical cycle of barium.

Bacterial precipitation of barite (BaSO(4)) under laboratory conditions is reported for the first time. The bacterium Myxococcus xanthus was cultivated in a solid medium with a diluted solution of barium chloride. Crystallization occurred as a result of the presence of live bacteria and the bacterial metabolic activity. A phosphorous-rich amorphous phase preceded the more crystalline barite for...

Mineral Precipitation by Idiomarina Loihiensis and Myxococcus Xanthus: Implications for the Biogeochemical Cycles of Carbon and Barium in the Mediterranean

Microbial processes played a major role in mineral precipitation throughout the Earth’s history. Such processes have been widely discussed for the last few decades with regard to carbonate precipitation. Other than microbial precipitation of carbonates, in natural environments is also of great interest the potential role of microbes in the precipitation of marine barite. Regarding carbonates, o...

Characterization of calcium isotopes in natural and synthetic barite

The mineral barite (BaSO4) accommodates calcium in its crystal lattice, providing an archive of Ca-isotopes in the highly stable sulfate mineral. Holocene marine (pelagic) barite samples from the major ocean basins are isotopically indistinguishable from each other (dCa = 2.01 ± 0.15&) but are different from hydrothermal and cold seep barite samples (dCa = 4.13 to 2.72&). Laboratory precipitate...

Pseudomorphs of barite and biogenic ZnS after phyto-crystals of calcium oxalate (whewellite) in the peat layer of a poor fen

Pseudomorphs of barite (BaSO4) and Cd-rich ZnS after whewellite (CaC2O4·H2O) occur within remnants of Scots pine bark tissues in the peat layer of a poor fen located near a zinc smelter in south Poland. A two-step formation of the pseudomorphs is postulated based on SEM observations: (1) complete dissolution of whewellite, possibly caused by oxalotrophic bacteria, and (2) subsequent bacterially...
