Nucleation of Fe-rich phosphates and carbonates on microbial cells and exopolymeric substances

Although phosphate and carbonate are important constituents in ancient and modern environments, it is not yet clear their biogeochemical relationships and their mechanisms of formation. Microbially mediated carbonate formation has been widely studied whereas little is known about the formation of ph...
