• Carbonate Precipitation through Microbial Activities in Natural Environment, and Their Potential in Biotechnology: A Review (2016, background): “As a result of photosynthetic activity, a higher pH value and the subsequent higher carbonate concentration were measured in illuminated mats than in those measured in dark mats (Ludwig et  al., 2005).”

(2005) , who reported the same mechanism from hypersaline microbial mats, where ion concentration is much higher than in the seawater ( Jonkers et al.”
• Microbial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPSs) in Ocean Systems (2017, background): “Cyanobacterial activities, for example, will raise the pH during daylight photosynthesis, which favors localized carbonate precipitation (Gautret et al., 2004; Ludwig et al., 2005).”
