Calcifying plankton: From biomineralization to global change
The cycling of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in the ocean is closely linked to seawater alkalinity and the regulation of atmospheric CO2. In the modern pelagic ocean, almost all CaCO3 is produced by three...

New in @science.org: Calcifying plankton #coccolithophores, #foraminifera & #pteropods quietly drive the ocean carbon pump. Their traits (incl. “shallow dissolution”) are missing from many climate models. Time to put CaCO₃ back in the picture. #ClimateScience 🌊 doi.org/10.1126/scie... #protistsonsky

Dekarbonisiern, was bedeutet das eigentlich?
Die Kalkindustrie erzeugt 7,4Mio.t CO2 -->1,8 % der CO2-Emissionen in Deutschland im Industriesektor.
Dies entsteht u.a. bei der Herstellung von Kalziumoxid aus Kalziumcarbonat (CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2).

🌊 Interesting that a heterotrophic organism that precipitates CaCO3 could be a carbon sink
New research from China suggests that oysters can be good at removing carbon dioxide from oceans, making the bivalves both an important food source and a potential tool in the fight against climate change and ocean acidification.

Is there a biomineralization carbon-storage credit for the CaCO3 if neighbors use the skeletons that belonged to actual giants?

We have a lot of ingenuity. We can make a chemical reaction between sand and CaCO3 and make it produce racism.

We identified a high abundance of vibrios associated with ichthyocarbonates with the metabolic potential for CaCO3 precipitation. Specifically, we observe the expression of ureR by Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae, which can induce the precipitation of CaCO3 via the production of bicarbonate!
