Popis:	The objective of this chapter is to identify the crystallochemical strategies evolved by organisms in the controlled mineralization of iron oxides. Three mineral phases, ferrihydrite (Fe2O3.nH2O), goethite (α-FeOOH) and magnetite (Fe3O4) will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms by which organisms regulate the structure, morphology, size and organization of iron oxide biominerals and how these processes result in functional adaptation.
