This paper reports on the biotechnical use of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis. The paper entails the ability of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis in releasing phosphorus in to its surrounding environment. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient which remains deposited in the marine sediments. The presence of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis in the marine waters of Namibian may account for abundance of apatite in that environment.

This paper reports on the biotechnical use of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis. The paper entails the ability of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis in releasing phosphorus in to its surrounding environment. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient which remains deposited in the marine sediments. The presence of Thiomarigarita Namibiensis in the marine waters of Namibian may account for abundance of apatite in that environment. Later studies showed that under laboratory experimentation in anoxic conditions, Thiomarigarita Namibiensis released large amounts of phosphate which can be correlated to the large amount of hydroxyapatite observed by the researchers in the sediments on the Namibian marine shelf.
