In bacteria, Ca 2+ is implicated in a wide variety of cellular processes, including the cell
cycle and cell division. Dedicated influx and efflux systems tightly control the low cytoplasmic …

Lag phase represents the earliest and most poorly understood stage of the bacterial growth
cycle. We developed a reproducible experimental system and conducted functional genomic …

During a study of ureolytic microbial calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation by bacterial
