Abstract:
Calcium precipitation and biofilm formation in halophilic bacteria were investigated in the current study. The strain SMK (Bacillus licheniformis) was isolated from plant rhizosphere and and AQ-1 (Alcaligenes faecalis) from marble crushing soil in Lahore. Bacterial growth, biofilm formation and CaCO3 precipitation of both strains was determined under varying stress (pH, temperature, agitation and salinity). Soil aggregation was investigated under salt stress (NaCl and MgSO4). Results showe… Show more
