Mechanisms of gold biomineralization in the bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
While the role of microorganisms as main drivers of metal mobility and mineral formation under Earth surface conditions is now widely accepted, the formation of secondary gold (Au) is commonly attributed to abiotic processes. Here we report that the biomineralization of Au nanoparticles in the metallophillic bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 is the result of Au-regulated gene expression leading to the energy-dependent reductive ...
Hydrolysis and biomineralization of porous PLA microspheres and their influence on cell growth Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres have great potential in bone tissue engineering. However, their applications have been limited by surface and bulk properties such as hydrophobicity, lack of cell recognition sites and acidic degradation products. Apatite is a mineral which can effectively promote the adhesion and growth of bone cells. In this study, the bonelike mineral, carbonate apatite, was successfully used to functionalize porous PLA ...
