Intracellular amorphous calcium carbonate biomineralization in methanotrophic gammaproteobacteria was acquired by horizontal gene transfer from cyanobacteria

2025-12-07

Abstract excerpt

Some bacteria genetically control the biomineralization of intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates (iACC) with potential implications for microbial physiology, evolution, bioremediation and biogeochemical cycling. Until now, this capacity has been documented in Cyanobacteria , the giant gammaproteobacterium Achromatium and a few magnetotactic Pseudomonadota and Nitrospirota . Here, we report the discovery o...
