What's the difference between guanite and struvite?
Guanite
Definition:
Example Sentences:
Struvite
Definition:
(n.) A crystalline mineral found in guano. It is a hydrous phosphate of magnesia and ammonia.
Example Sentences:

(10) Biochemical stone analyses showed struvite in 9 of the treated stones, and urine cultures verified the presence of urease-producing bacteria in 10 patients.
(11) While most of this inhibition by AHA was due to lowered urease activity, some crystal growth inhibition occurred in struvite produced in the absence of urease activity through NH4OH titration of artificial urine.
(12) Addition of only 0.5 per cent human urine gave a reproducible decrease and when 10 per cent human urine was added to the synthetic urine the precipitation of calcium phosphate was reduced by 50 per cent and that of struvite by 75 per cent.
