Abstract
Seven reference-strain bacteria were examined for apatitic calcifiability in a chemically-defined medium and in a metastable calcium phosphate solution. The results support the belief that calcification is limited to certain microorganisms. Additionally, the findings emphasize that determining microbiologic calcifiability only in a calcification-supporting medium is too restrictive.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
