“…Thermodynamically, vaterite and aragonite are metastable crystal phases, whereas calcite is the more stable polymorph (40). Vaterite, commonly formed at a high supersaturation, was suggested to be the precursor of calcite, which is formed at a low supersaturation (41,42). In our study, vaterite seemed to be the main crystal phase at most incubation type.…”

e Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) applied in the construction industry poses several disadvantages such as ammonia release to the air and nitric acid production. An alternative MICP from calcium formate by Methylocystis parvus OBBP is presented here to overcome these disadvantages. To induce calcium carbonate precipitation, M. parvus was incubated at different calcium formate concentrations and starting culture densities. Up to 91.4% ؎ 1.6% of the initial calcium was precipitated in the methane-amended cultures compared to 35.1% ؎ 11.9% when methane was not added. Because the bacteria could only utilize methane for growth, higher culture densities and subsequently calcium removals were exhibited in the cultures when methane was added. A higher calcium carbonate precipitate yield was obtained when higher culture densities were used but not necessarily when more calcium formate was added. This was mainly due to salt inhibition of the bacterial activity at a high calcium formate concentration. A maximum 0.67 ؎ 0.03 g of CaCO 3 g of Ca(CHOOH) 2 ؊1 calcium carbonate precipitate yield was obtained when a culture of 10 9 cells ml ؊1 and 5 g of calcium formate liter ؊1 were used. Compared to the current strategy employing biogenic urea degradation as the basis for MICP, our approach presents significant improvements in the environmental sustainability of the application in the construction industry. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a wellknown process and has been extensively described in the past (1-3). In short, MICP produces carbonate minerals, e.g., calcium carbonate, as a result of alterations in environmental conditions. In nature, examples of MICP include calcite formation in soils (4), limestone caves (5), seas (6), and soda lakes (7). Four different key parameters that govern microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation are the: (i) concentration of nonprecipitated calcium, (ii) concentration of the total inorganic carbon, (iii) pH, and (iv) availability of nucleation sites for calcium carbonate crystal formation (3). Among the four parameters, bacterial activities mainly influence the pH of the environment (1).MICP is the basis for several biotechnological applications in the construction sector (for a review, see reference 1 and references therein). These include the use of calcium carbonate precipitate to protect concrete surface against the ingress of deleterious substances (e.g., chloride ions) (8) or to heal cracks in aging concrete (9, 10). Among the bacterial activities that can induce calcium carbonate precipitation, urea degradation by heterotrophic bacteria is typically used for applications on building materials. In biogenic urea degradation, urea is transformed to ammonia and carbonate ions to initiate precipitation (11). Bacillus spp. (e.g., B. sphaericus) is the most commonly applied urea degrader for MICP in the construction sector due to several advantages such as the high initial urea degradation rate by the strain and a highly negative potential ...

“…Moreover, another study carried out by Jimenez-Lopez et al (2008) found that consolidation of small limestone stones (a mineral composed mainly by calcium carbonate used to manufacture cement) was increased by calcite bioprecipitation; this research was carried out to evaluate its applicability in monument restoration procedures, activating the microbiota found in the material and without inoculating a specific strain. Thereupon, four bacterial strains found in cement were identified: Sporosarcina soli KNUC401, Bacillus massiliensis KNUC402, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes KNUC403 and Lysinibacillus fusiformis KNUC404, of which KNUC403 showed the highest compressive strength (25.6 MPa at 28 days) compared to S. pasteurii (19.4 MPa) in a mixture with cement, sand and using a phosphate buffer as control (Park et al, 2010).…”

Bacteria with ureasic activity are microorganisms found in soil that in presence of urea and calcium, they can produce calcium carbonate, a process known as microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). This article discusses this process and its mechanism, as well as bacterial urease, calcium carbonate crystals formed, and factors that affect the efficiency of MICP, as type of bacteria, bacterial cell concentrations, pH, temperature and calcium and urea concentrations. In addition, applications as removal of heavy metals in water, bioconsolidation, biocement and CO 2 sequestration are also discussed.Keywords: Biomineralization; Bacillus; urease; carbonates; heavy metals; bioconsolidation; biocementation.

“…Myxococcus xanthus is able to induce the precipitation of a range of carbonates, phosphates and sulfates, which is important because the biomineralized cement must be compatible with the substrate. Another advantage is the motility of M. xanthus, which increases the potential protected surface because they are able to migrate inside the porous material, thereby increasing the consolidation efficiency (Jimenez-Lopez et al, 2008). Addition of M. xanthus to stone also was shown to induce the growth of other carbonatogenic microorganisms present in and on the stone, such as Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp.…”

The dual role of microbes in corrosion

Corrosion is the result of a series of chemical, physical and (micro) biological processes leading to the deterioration of materials such as steel and stone. It is a world-wide problem with great societal and economic consequences. Current corrosion control strategies based on chemically produced products are under increasing pressure of stringent environmental regulations. Furthermore, they are rather inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for environmentally friendly and sustainable corrosion control strategies. The mechanisms of microbially influenced corrosion and microbially influenced corrosion inhibition are not completely understood, because they cannot be linked to a single biochemical reaction or specific microbial species or groups. Corrosion is influenced by the complex processes of different microorganisms performing different electrochemical reactions and secreting proteins and metabolites that can have secondary effects. Information on the identity and role of microbial communities that are related to corrosion and corrosion inhibition in different materials and in different environments is scarce. As some microorganisms are able to both cause and inhibit corrosion, we pay particular interest to their potential role as corrosion-controlling agents. We show interesting interfaces in which scientists from different disciplines such as microbiology, engineering and art conservation can collaborate to find solutions to the problems caused by corrosion.
