We focus on the importance of the kinetics on the crystal habit of carbonates and phosphates precipitated in biological and abiotic systems. We also discuss the influence of the nature and composition of the precipitation medium, as well as the structural control on crystal habit of Ca-Mg carbonates.}, publisher = {INTECH}, keywords = {Phosphate stromatolites}, keywords = {Calcified tissues}, keywords = {Inorganic phosphate}, keywords = {Carbonate minerals}, keywords = {Gel growth}, keywords = {Bacterially-mediated}, keywords = {TEM}, keywords = {SEM}, title = {Crystal Growth of Inorganic and Biomediated Carbonates and Phosphates}, author = {Sánchez Navas, Antonio and Sánchez-Román, Mónica and Martín Algarra, Agustín and Jiménez López, Concepción and Nieto García, Fernando and Ruiz-Bustos, Antonio}, }
