HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Karim Benzerara from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA Indiana University Purdue University have published the Article: Calcium-Phosphate Biomineralization Induced by Alkaline Phosphatase Activity in Escherichia coli: Localization, Kinetics, and Potential Signatures in the Fossil Record, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
- what: To test the model of microbial phosphogenesis based on alkaline phosphatase activity, the authors aimed to correlate Caphosphate precipitation with PHO A activity in the calcification experiments. This study provides some experimental support to the recent discovery of bacterial microfossils with a calcified periplasm, observed in a Paleocene (~60 Ma old) phosphorite from . . .
