Biomineralization and biomimetics: Microorganisms making crystals and how we can use them

Bones and teeth are known from everybody. They are not only part of our body but have been used by Humans for centuries. There are however other examples of organisms building crystals and minerals. In particular, microorganisms can be real nanotechnologists: In this talk, I will present how different types of organisms make materials for different purposes and how we can learn from them in order to build functional materials with control properties. Examples include coccolithophores algae forming complicated calcite structure and magnetotactic bacteria building chains of magnetite nanoparticles as compass needle.
