• Biocalcification of Sand through Ureolysis (2011, unknown): “…CaCO3 precipitation can result if the solubility product, Ksp, is exceeded (Sawyer et al. 2003): CaCO3ðsÞ↔Ca2þ þ CO2 3 Ksp ¼ ½Ca2þ ½CO2 3 ¼ 5 × 10 9 mole2=L2 at 25°C ð2Þ Biocalcification likely occurs through a combination of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation (Mitchell and Ferris 2006).”
• Biomineralization of calcium carbonates and their engineered applications: a review (2013, background): “Calcium carbonate precipitation in microbial systems typically occurs when the saturation index (with respect to calcite) is above 1 (Arp et al., 2001; Mitchell and Ferris, 2006).”
• Calcium Carbonate Crystals Formation by Ureolytic Bacteria Isolated from Australian Soil and Sludge (2012, result): “Rhombohedral calcite crystals due to ureolytic bacterial activity in the absence of the spherical deposits were observed in other studies (Bang et al., 2001; Bang and Ramakrishman, 2002; Mitchell and Ferris 2006).”
