Abstract

  Iron is regarded as an essential element for organisms in earth. Iron-cycling bacteria (ICB) including iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB) and iron-reducing bacteria (IRB), and magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) can mineralize iron to functional biocomposites which have po- tential for biomedical and environmental use. Generally, biologically induced mineralization (BIM) mainly occurs in ICB and biologi- cally controlled mineralization (BCM) primarily exists in MTB. Iron biomineralization is a complex process and is affected by various environmental factors.

Keywords: Iron-Cycling Bacteria; Magnetotactic Bacteria; Biologically Induced Mineralization; Biologically Controlled Mineralization
