The plant extract serves as a rich source of calcium ions, which when reacted with CO2, leads to the formation of calcite crystals of highly irregular morphology indicating that bioorganic molecules present in the extract modulate the crystal morphology.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.967</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
