This communication describes the bionic preparation of a composite material in which
fluorescent magnetite nanoparticles are included within the calcitic skeletal structure of the
foraminifer Amphistrigina lessoni. This research represents the first tailored experiment
where a living calcifying organism is used to synthesize a CaCO3 composite, taking
advantage of its control over the precipitation process, which has potentially no comparison
with in vitro experiments.
