Abstract
    This chapter describes biominerals and the marine organisms that produce them. The proteins involved in biomineralization, as well as functions of the biomineralized structures, are treated. Current and future applications of bioinspired material synthesis in engineering and medicine highlight the enormous potential of biomineralization in marine organisms and the status, challenges, and prospects regarding successful marine biotechnology.
