What is it about?
It helps us to understand how the tiny unicelled creatures called microorganisms contributed to mineralogical transformations on our beautiful planet Earth over geological time scales. It has also direct link to novel biomineralisation processes which might have several technological implications.

Why is it important?
Discovery of the novel biomineralisation pathways resulted from the improved experimental conditions making them closer to the environmental. We demonstrated how the interfacial processes at the bacterial cell walls are influenced by the two factors: highly reactive microbial surface chemistry and metabolic activity of the viable cells for over 30 days.
