Microbial mats as bioreactors: populations, processes, and products (2005, background): “As is true for all the biochemical reactions below, the observed precipitation of CaCO3 in cultures of aerobic heterotrophs (Castanier et al., 2000; Folk and Chafetz, 2000; Chafetz and Buczynski, 1992; Rivadeneyra et al., 1993, 1999) needs very careful evaluation before extrapolation to the field.”
Ureolytic Bacteria and Calcium Carbonate Formation as a Mechanism of Strength Enhancement of Sand (2011, methodology): “Alkaline pH is the primary means by which microbes promote calcite precipitation (Castanier et al., 2000a; Fujita et al., 2000).”
Bacterially Induced Mineralization of Calcium Carbonate in Terrestrial Environments: The Role of Exopolysaccharides and Amino Acids (2003, background): “Bacterially precipitated calcite (in terrestrial environments), and aragonite and high Mg calcite (in marine environments) have been described many times in the literature (e.g., Boquet et al. 1973; Castanier et al. 2000; Chafetz 1986; Krumbein 1979).”
Biomineralization of calcium carbonates and their engineered applications: a review (2013, background): “…subtilis, Deleya halophila, Halomonas eurihalina and Myxococcus xanthus (Mobley and Hausinger, 1989; Rivadeneyra et al., 1991, 1996, 1998; Ferris and Stehmeier, 1992; Stocks-Fischer et al., 1999; Tiano et al., 1999; Castanier et al., 2000; Fujita et al., 2000; Rodriguez-Navarro et al., 2003).”
Influence of bacteria on the compressive strength, water absorption and rapid chloride permeability of fly ash concrete (2012, background): “[8] and Riding [9] reported that bacteria and fungi can induce precipitation of calcium carbonate extracellularly through a number of processes that include photosynthesis, ammonification, denitrification, sulfate reduction and anaerobic sulfide oxidation.”
Microbial CaCO3 Precipitation: For the Production of Biocement (2008, background): “These organelles are widely considered as primitive endosymbiotic bacteria, which further supports the bacterial contribution to carbonate precipitation (Castanier et al., 2000b).”
