Influence of soil mineralogy on calcium carbonate precipitation induced by calcifying bacteria

This study investigates the influence of soil mineralogy on microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) using the ureolytic bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii. Silica sand (SS), kaolinite clay (KC), and montmorillonite-rich bentonite clay (BC) were evaluated in soil supensio...
