Biomineralization - Preferred

Concept UI	M000640532
Scope note	Process by which living organisms produce MINERALS that accumulate into hardened tissues (e.g., bones, teeth and shells), and cellular nanostructures that sequester away into macromolecules. Biosynthesized minerals include CALCIUM CARBONATE; FLUOROAPATITE; HYDROXYAPATITE; and MAGNETITE.
Preferred term	Biomineralization
Entry term(s)	Biocrystallization Biocrystallizations Biomineralizations Bioprecipitation Bioprecipitations
