Abstract
Myxococcus coralloides D has been shown to produce extracellular cryst als, which have been identified via scanning electron microscopy and X -ray diffraction to be struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). This is the first occ asion that the production of this mineral by a myxobacterium has been described.
