Biomineralization in Lower Plants and Animals

The Monera and Protista Kingdoms contain species that form many different mineral types by varying processes at different cellular locations. This book identifies the underlying trends and processes common to each group. It discusses the controls, products, and functional significance of biomineralization for such simple organisms as algae, protozoans, bacteria, and lichens--information useful to botanists, zoologists, paleontologists, and research chemists.
