Calcium carbonate represents a large portion of carbon reservoir and is used commercially
for a variety of applications. Microbial carbonate precipitation, a by-product of microbial …

Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

Microbial precipitation of calcium carbonate takes place in nature by different mechanisms.
One of them is microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), which is performed due …

Biomineralization is a known natural phenomenon associated with a wide range of bacterial
species. Bacterial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation by marine isolates was …

Although biomineralization of CaCO 3 is widespread in Bacteria and Archaea, the molecular
mechanisms involved in this process remain less known than those used by Eukaryotes. A …

The systematic documentation of calcite fabrics in stalagmites and flowstones provides
robustness to palaeoclimate interpretation based on geochemical proxies, but it has been …

Bacteria-based self-healing concrete can be made more efficient by using immobilization
techniques, hence shielding the bacteria from crushing during mixing to remain dormant till …

Microbial carbonate mineralization is widespread in nature and among microorganisms, and
of vast ecological and geological importance. However, our understanding of the …

Bacteria exhibit cell-to-cell variability in their resilience to stress, for example, following
antibiotic exposure. Higher resilience is typically ascribed to" dormant" non-growing cellular …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a precursor of crystalline calcium carbonates that
plays a key role in biomineralization and polymorph evolution. Here, we show that several …
