Abstract:Environmental harsh conditions are one of the main challenges to the survivability of bacteria during the microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) process. Due to the high resistivity of endospores against inhospitable conditions in comparison with vegetative cells, different sporulation methods were applied to Lysinibacillus sphaericus strain MB284 by changing the environmental conditions to investigate the growth of germinated cells. It was found that the sporulation yield was more when bot… Show more
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.
