Microbial calcite, a bio-based smart nanomaterial in concrete remediation (2010, background): “pasteurii ) not only initiate calcite precipitation, but also serve as nucleation sites for calcite crystals in association with other factors such as Ca 2+ ions, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, and temperature in the medium [ 2 , 4– ].”
Bacterial Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Cave Environments: A Function of Calcium Homeostasis (2010, background): “…are found within speleothems (Melim et al. 2008; Melim et al. 2001), the observation of viable cells with these formations tends to be anecdotal (Baskar et al. 2006a; Cacchio et al. 2004; Danielli and Edington 1983); no cause-and-effect for the presence of microbial species in speleothems has…”
GEOMICROBIOLOGY IN CAVE ENVIRONMENTS: PAST, CURRENT AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES (2007, background): “Such work was recently supported by Baskar et al. (2006), who demonstrated microcrystalline deposition of calcite within stalactites that appeared to be mediated by microbial processes.”
