Induced mineralization in <i>Escherichia coli</i> biofilms: the key role of bacterial alkaline phosphatase
2022-09-30
Abstract excerpt
Biofilms appear when bacteria colonize a surface and synthesize and assemble extracellular matrix components. In addition to the organic matrix, some biofilms precipitate mineral particles such as calcium phosphate. While calcified biofilms induce diseases like periodontitis in physiological environments, they also inspire the engineering of living composites. Understanding mineralization mechanisms in biofilms wi...
