“…Their study showed that more vaterite was formed at pH 9-10 while more calcite was formed at pH 11-12. The same research group [70] also optimized MICP of Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus licheniformis by adding oxygen releasing compounds. They suggested that the addition of oxygen releasing compounds in self-healing concrete healed cracks deep inside the concrete.…”

Nowadays, microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has received great attention for its potential in construction and geotechnical applications. This technique has been used in biocementation of sand, consolidation of soil, production of self-healing concrete or mortar, and removal of heavy metal ions from water. The products of MICP often have enhanced strength, durability, and self-healing ability. Utilization of the MICP technique can also increase sustainability, especially in the construction industry where a huge portion of the materials used is not sustainable. The presence of bacteria is essential for MICP to occur. Bacteria promote the conversion of suitable compounds into carbonate ions, change the microenvironment to favor precipitation of calcium carbonate, and act as precipitation sites for calcium carbonate crystals. Many bacteria have been discovered and tested for MICP potential. This paper reviews the bacteria used for MICP in some of the most recent studies. Bacteria that can cause MICP include ureolytic bacteria, non-ureolytic bacteria, cyanobacteria, nitrate reducing bacteria, and sulfate reducing bacteria. The most studied bacterium for MICP over the years is Sporosarcina pasteurii. Other bacteria from Bacillus species are also frequently investigated. Several factors that affect MICP performance are bacterial strain, bacterial concentration, nutrient concentration, calcium source concentration, addition of other substances, and methods to distribute bacteria. Several suggestions for future studies such as CO2 sequestration through MICP, cost reduction by using plant or animal wastes as media, and genetic modification of bacteria to enhance MICP have been put forward.

Bio-deposition of minerals is a widespread phenomenon in the biological world and is mediated by bacteria, fungi, protists, and plants. Calcium carbonate is one of those minerals that naturally precipitates as a by-product of microbial metabolic activities. Over recent years, microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been proposed as a potent solution to address many environmental and engineering issues. However, for being a viable alternative to conventional techniques as well as being financially and industrially competitive, various challenges need to be overcome. In this review, the detailed metabolic pathways, including ammonification of amino acids, dissimilatory reduction of nitrate, and urea degradation (ureolysis), along with the potent bacteria and the favorable conditions for precipitation of calcium carbonate, are explained. Moreover, this review highlights the potential environmental and engineering applications of MICP, including restoration of stones and concrete, improvement of soil properties, sand consolidation, bioremediation of contaminants, and carbon dioxide sequestration. The key research and development questions necessary for near future large-scale applications of this innovative technology are also discussed.

“…On the other hand, it achieves improved biomineralization solely by cell engineering. Although MICP acceleration has been previously reported by the external supply of different chemicals, 75,[83][84][85] in the case of ELMs the dependence on external factors is not desirable, as it limits the potential for spontaneous material production.…”

Biomaterials made by living systems, while very diverse, generally share similar organization: different lineages of cells are precisely patterned within a matrix to create a hierarchically defined structure. This meticulous organization allows for their multifunctional properties, which often exceed those of traditional materials. For these reasons, there is growing interest in creating engineered living materials (ELMs) that will have capabilities similar to those of natural living materials yet with tailored functions. This review aims to highlight technologies still missing from the field of ELMs, which currently prevents more impactful applications. We briefly review the existing literature and identify challenges in designing novel protein-based and non-ribosomally synthesized matrix elements, producing and incorporating biominerals, and improving critical material properties such as lifespan, spatial patterning, and cell-cell communication. We also discuss the interplay between these challenges and the need for the development of new chassis and corresponding genetic toolboxes. By overcoming these obstacles, we come ever closer to unlocking the potential and versatility of biomaterials to create designer ELMs.Protein-based materials (PBMs) are ubiquitous in nature and have often been studied and explored for commercial applications-especially in the biomedical field.
