Scope note: Proceso por el que organismos vivos producen MINERALES que se acumulan en tejidos endurecidos (p. ej., huesos, dientes y caparazones) y nanoestructuras celulares que quedan secuestradas en macromoléculas. Algunos de los minerales biosintetizados son CARBONATO DE CALCIO, FLUOROAPATITA, HIDROXIAPATITA y MAGNETITA.
