Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

Bacteria are small, prokaryotic, microorganisms that are ubiquitous in surface and
subsurface terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Prokaryotes comprise two Domains …

Microorganisms can mediate the formation of minerals by a process called
biomineralization. This process offers an efficient way to sequester inorganic pollutants …

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has not only helped to shape our planet's
geological features but is also a promising technology to address environmental concerns in …

The studies of mineral-microbe interactions lie at the heart of the emerging field of
Geomicrobiology, as minerals and rocks are the most fundamental earth materials with …

Résumé Prokaryotes have been shaping the surface of the Earth and impacting
geochemical cycles for the past four billion years. Biomineralization, the capacity to form …

Bacteria have contributed to the formation of minerals since the advent of life on Earth.

Solidification and stabilization (S/S) treatment via cement is common and effective for
improving soil strength and stabilizing heavy metals in contaminated soils, but has certain …

Heavy metal pollution is insidious, long-term and irreversible, which seriously endangers the
environment and human health. Compared with physical and chemical remediation …

Microbes are active agents of environmental change. From the depths of the Earth's crust to
the heights of the upper atmosphere, microorganisms alter the physicochemical conditions …
