Protection and consolidation of stone heritage by self-inoculation with indigenous carbonatogenic bacterial communities
Fadwa Jroundi,Mara Schiro,Encarnación Ruiz-Agudo,Kerstin Elert,Inés Martín-Sánchez,Maria Teresa Gonzalez-Muñoz,Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro +6 more
TL;DR: A novel, environmentally friendly, bacterial self-inoculation approach for the conservation of stone based on the isolation of an indigenous community of carbonatogenic bacteria from salt damaged stone, followed by their culture and re-application back onto the same stone is presented.

Bacterial-induced mineralization (BIM) for soil solidification and heavy metal stabilization: A critical review.
TL;DR: This review firstly summarizes the basic theories of BIM technology followed by the evaluation on remediation effects and long-term stability in terms of soil solidification and heavy metal stabilization and it is concluded that BIM-S/S technology is promising with outstanding performance in sustainability.

Low-cost cultivation of Sporosarcina pasteurii strain in food-grade yeast extract medium for microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) application
TL;DR: In this paper, an inexpensive food-grade yeast medium was investigated for its feasibility to serve as a suitable alternative media for bacterial growth, urease activity and calcium carbonate precipitation.

Insights into the Current Trends in the Utilization of Bacteria for Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation
Sing Chuong Chuo,Sarajul Fikri Mohamed,Siti Hamidah Mohd Setapar,Akil Ahmad,Mohammad Jawaid,Waseem A. Wani,Asim Ali Yaqoob,Mohamad Nasir Mohamad Ibrahim +7 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews the bacteria used for MICP in some of the most recent studies and suggests suggestions for future studies such as CO2 sequestration through MICP, cost reduction by using plant or animal wastes as media, and genetic modification of bacteria to enhance MICP have been put forward.

Microbiological precipitation of CaCO3
TL;DR: Kinetic studies indicate that urease activity and its affinity to urea are significantly high at the pH where calcite precipitation is favorable, suggesting a potential use of the microbial calcites precipitation process in remediation of the surface and subsurface of porous media.

Ca-carbonates precipitation and limestone genesis — the microbiogeologist point of view
TL;DR: Carbonatogenesis is the response of heterotrophic bacterial communities to an enrichment of the milieu in organic matter and has been an ubiquitous phenomenon since Precambrian times as discussed by the authors. But it is not restricted to particular taxonomic groups of bacteria nor to specific environments.

Biological materials: Functional adaptations and bioinspired designs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct an analysis connecting the structure (nano, micro, meso, and macro) to the mechanical properties important for a specific function, and address how biological systems respond and adapt to external mechanical stimuli.
