NOVEL ORGANIC-ANORGANIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS AS A RESULT OF BIOMINERALISATION

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing organic-anorganic composite materials, at least one biomineralising protein and/or polypeptide-encoding recombinant polynucleotide being introduced into at least one host cell, preferably from the class of slime moulds, and the expressed protein and/or polypeptide influencing the formation of anorganic particles in an extracellular matrix of the host cell. The invention also relates to the use of organic-anorganic composite materials of this kind.
