Chemolithotrophic microbes are able to fix atmospheric CO2 and precipitated polymorphic minerals like calcite, vaterite and aragonite. Based on this, bioactive glass was synthesized by sol-gel process using polymorphic calcium carbonate mineral precipitated by chemolithotrophic Serratia sp. ISTD04. Characterization of bioactive material and its bioactivity was evaluated by SEM, EDX, FT-IR, XRD, ICP-MS. SEM analysis revealed biomaterial showing more bioactivity due to deposition of smaller particle like appearance throughout the surface. FT-IR analysis of sintered and immersed bioactive material indicated presence of O-Ca-O, O-Si-O and Si-O-Si functional group. The XRD analysis indicated important features similar to melt-derived Na2O-containing glass ceramics like formation of crystalline phase Na2Ca2Si3O9. Further in-vitro study was performed in simulated body fluid (SBF) and on osteosarcoma cell line, confirmed that material and their supernatant did not reflect any cytotoxicity.
