Karim Benzerara

I work at the IMPMC @ CNRS, MNHN and Sorbonne University. I'm a geomicrobiology/mineralogist/geochemist working on interactions between microorganisms and minerals. Currently, I am particularly intersted in formation of intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates by cyanobacteria, formation of Mg-silicates by bacteria, accumulation of phosphorus by bacteria, including magnetotactic bacteria; trapping of radionuclides by bacteria
