Molecular and mineral responses of corals grown under …

Here, we exposed the branching stony coral Montipora digitata (Scleractinia) and the blue coral Heliopora coerulea (Octocorallia) to both calcite and aragonite …

Calcite | SpringerLink

Calcite is generally a major constituent of carbonate rocks and is a commonly found earth mineral. Limestones must be made of more than 50% carbonate minerals (Tucker and …

Myriad Mapping of nanoscale minerals reveals calcium …

Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) is abundant on Earth, is a major component of marine biominerals and thus of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks and it plays a …

Aragonite dissolution protects calcite at the seafloor | Nature

We show that, locally, aragonite fluxes to the seafloor could be sufficient to suppress calcite dissolution in the top layer of the seabed, possibly causing calcite …

Calcite Formation in Soft Coral Sclerites Is Determined by a …

The mechanism of calcite formation in soft coral sclerites that we report here is completely different from the mechanisms used by other calcifying marine …

Biochemical, Strength and Erosional Characteristics of Coral …

Microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP), a bio-cementation process, can be adopted to improve the engineering properties of granular soils. Bio-stimulation, …

Characterizing coral skeleton mineralogy with Raman …

In a recent Nature Communications article, Akiva et al. 1 purport to show that both coral planulae (free-swimming coral larvae) and polyps of juvenile corals …

Scleractinian corals produce calcite, and grow more …

INTRODUCTION. Modern scleractinian corals produce skele-tons exclusively from the orthorhombic poly-morph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) known as aragonite (Cuif et …

New insights into the effects of calcite coral powder on …

Coral powder (CP) emerges as an eco-friendly alternative to partially replace cement in concrete, addressing environmental concerns associated with cement production while …

Calcium Carbonate – Intercity Mineral Enterprises

Carbonates. Vigorous reaction with dilute HCL. Calcite is present in the rock limestone formed by coral organisms that build tropical coral reefs, it formed due to actions of living …
