AbstractBacteria are able to induce struvite precipitation, and modify struvite morphology, leading to the mineral with various growth habits. However, the relevant work involving the morphogenesis is limited, thereby obstructing our understanding of bacterially mediated struvite mineralization. Here, an actinomycete Microbacterium marinum sp. nov. H207 was chosen to study its effect on struvite morphology. A combination of bacterial mineralization and biomimetic mineralization techniques was adopted. The bacterial mineralization results showed that strain H207 could induce the formation of struvite with grouping structure (i.e., a small coffin-like crystal grown on a large trapezoid-like substrate crystal), and the overgrowth structure gradually disappeared, while the substrate crystal further evolved into coffin-like, and quadrangular tabular morphology with time. The biomimetic experiments with different organic components confirmed that the soluble macromolecules rich in electronegative carboxyl groups secreted by strain H207 dominate the formation of the struvite grouping. The time-course biomimetic experiments with supernatant testified that the increase in pH and NH4+ content promoted the evolution of crystal habits. Moreover, the evolution process of substrate crystal can be divided into two stages. At the first stage, the crystal grew along the crystallographic b axis. At the later stage, coupled dissolution–precipitation process occurred, and the crystals grew along the corners (i.e., [110] and [1-10] directions). In the case of dissolution, it was also found that the (00-1) face of substrate crystal preferentially dissolved, which results from the low initial phosphate content and high PO43− density on this face. As a result, present work can provide a deeper insight into bio-struvite mineralization.
