Summary
Biomineralization refers to a process of interest, it was thoroughly investigated by mineralogists, chemists, physicians, and which involves the formation of minerals. environmentalists, who studied it from different. The crystal structure of struvite by Whitaker and Jeffery belongs to extracellular precipitation processes of mineral compounds by bacteria are due to metabolic the orthorhombic space group Pmn[21] with two molecules in a unit cell[9]. There are many structural activity that favors the physicochemical conditions similarities between struvite type materials, which resulting in the formation of biominerals. The significant role of bacterial biomineralization is to deliver structures that serve as substrates for heterogeneous crystal nucleation octahedrally by six H2O molecules whose H atoms are strongly bonded to oxygen atoms in (PO4)3groups. No H2O molecules are shared between Mg (H2O)[6] octahedra Another common feature among the struvite type phosphate compounds (with lower energy barriers than homogeneous nucleation) and stereochemical arrangements of the mineral components. Interaction reported a phosphate containing, biologically formed crystal, struvite, which has the chemical between soil bacteria and minerals reported having many bio-technological and environmental applications[6,7]. Struvite, MgNH4PO4. 6H2O, has attracted considerable attention because of its common occurrence in widely diverse environments, such
