Abstract

In this review we point out the different biomineralization processes. Organisms

belonging to as many as 55 Phyla are believed to be involved into these processes. We

comment on the different mechanisms used: BiologicalIy Induced Mineralization and

Biologically Controlled Mineralization. Special remark is made on those biomineralization

processes where the role of microorganisms is important, both from a biogeomicrobial

and clinical point of view. Finally, we approach the molecular processes, by which

bacteria are able to privide heterogeneous crystallization nuclei.
