Biogenic crystals, such as fish guanine crystal plate and uric acid crystals are generated for the purpose of controlling environmental light fields and due to biological degradation, respectively. Recent studies have revealed some of new aspects in magnetic and optical properties of the guanine, uric acid, cellulose, and calcium carbonate. In this paper, we discuss on the advances in measurements/control methods in magnetic responses in biogenic micro-crystals focusing on possible applications for biotechnology, biomedical engineering and energy harvesting.
