Abstract
The present invention provides for a genetically modified host cell comprising a first polypeptide capable of active transport of urea into the host cell and/or a second polypeptide capable of degrading urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, wherein the genetically modified host cell is capable of degrading urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide. The genetically modified host cell in a medium comprising urea, a calcium salt or calcium ion, and a phosphate is capable of producing calcium phosphate.
