The nutritional medium that stimulated the production of carbonate using nitrogen cycle metabolic pathways was explored. Different media used for bacterially induced precipitation of calcium carbonate were brought out for the optimization of a nutrient medium and limit the frequency of feeding to meet industrial economic constraints. The ability of cultures to grow and produce without expensive growth factors also should be assessed. The medium optimization uses nutrient consumption as a foundation for medium formulations stoichiometrically. Statistical experimental designs can aid in interpretation of results and help economize the number of experiments required. There are only very few studies related to optimization of the medium for carbonate precipitation. In this study, the maximum calcite producing bacterial strains Bacillus sp and Pseudomonas sp were selected from previous screening study (Priya, J. N et al., 2017) and compared the results obtained by laboratory experiments with experimental design CCD of Response Surface Methodology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
