Caves are ubiquitous subterranean voids, accounting for a still largely unexplored surface of the Earth underground. Due to the absence of sunlight and physical segregation, caves are naturally colonized by microorganisms that have developed distinctive capabilities to thrive under extreme conditions of darkness and oligotrophy. Here, the microbiomes colonizing three frequently studied cave types, i.e., limestone, sulfuric acid speleogenetic (SAS), and lava tubes among volcanic caves, have comparatively been reviewed. Geological configurations, nutrient availability, and energy flows in caves are key ecological drivers shaping cave microbiomes through photic, twilight, transient, and deep cave zones. Chemoheterotrophic microbial communities, whose sustenance depends on nutrients supplied from outside, are prevalent in limestone and volcanic caves, while elevated inorganic chemical energy is available in SAS caves, enabling primary production through chemolithoautotrophy. The 16S rRNA-based metataxonomic profiles of cave microbiomes were retrieved from previous studies employing the Illumina platform for sequencing the prokaryotic V3-V4 hypervariable region to compare the microbial community structures from different cave systems and environmental samples. Limestone caves and lava tubes are colonized by largely overlapping bacterial phyla, with the prevalence of Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota, whereas the co-dominance of Pseudomonadota and Campylobacterota members characterizes SAS caves. Most of the metataxonomic profiling data have so far been collected from the twilight and transient zones, while deep cave zones remain elusive, deserving further exploration. Integrative approaches for future geomicrobiology studies are suggested to gain comprehensive insights into the different cave types and zones. This review also poses novel research questions for unveiling the metabolic and genomic capabilities of cave microorganisms, paving the way for their potential biotechnological applications.

“…Ureolytic bacteria are defined as microorganisms that are capable of secreting enzymes for urea hydrolysis, resulting in biocalcification in the presence of calcium ions [18]. According to [19], consideration or selection of waste sources with suitable conditions (urea as a substrate and an alkaline pH) was crucial so that the desired bacteria could grow and generate urease. In this study, both sampling sources were chosen based on the conditions and suitability for ureolytic bacteria growth.…”

The escalation of heavy metal pollution in natural ecosystems due to industrialization presents a critical environmental concern, endangering the well-being of living organisms. Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, an emerging innovation, has gained attention from the scientific community for its potential in biocementation and bioremediation applications. However, a substantial gap in understanding exists regarding the utilization of ureolytic microbial strains from waste sources capable of effectively immobilizing high concentrations of heavy metals. This study endeavors to explore the latent potential of indigenous ureolytic bacteria derived from leachate and restaurant wastewater, possessing bioremediation capabilities for heavy metal immobilization. The investigation includes microbial screening, physiological characterization of ureolytic bacteria, assessment of their tolerance levels, and evaluation of heavy metal removal efficacy through Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) analysis. Notably, the results reveal that ureolytic bacteria from restaurant wastewater are more tolerant to Cd2+ concentrations compared to their leachate counterparts, manifesting optimum conductivity, pH, and optical density (OD). More so, AAS analysis demonstrates the restaurant wastewater-derived sample's remarkable proficiency in Cd2+ removal, achieving a substantial 95% removal rate, significantly outperforming the leachate wastewater sample's removal rate of 53%.
