Precipitation of methane-derived authigenic carbonates (MDAC) is an integral part of marine
methane production and consumption, but MDAC's relative significance to the global marine …

Compared with Phanerozoic strata, sulfate minerals are relatively rare in the Precambrian
record; this is probably due to the lower concentrations of sulfate in dominantly anoxic …

Magnesium (Mg) in natural waters plays a critical role in governing carbonate mineral
formation, dissolution, and diagenesis. Previous laboratory experiments show that Mg can …

This study aimed to investigate the structure and shape of carbonate crystals induced
through microbial activity and carbon dioxide reactions in the sand. The strength of sandy …

Barite (BaSO 4) is widely formed in modern and ancient sedimentary environments by the
interaction of barium-and sulfate-bearing fluids from a variety of sources. A word-class barite …

Sedimentary microbial communities play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, oxidizing
deposited organic carbon and thus influencing the type of carbon buried from Earth's …

Carbon capture and utilization technology is the research stream dedicated to mitigating the
pressing effect of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2). The present study investigates a …

Authigenic carbonate (AC) forms in siliciclastic marine sediments in part as a result of the
degradation of organic matter and methane. Degradation pathways vary considerably and …

Maintaining concrete structures by using bacterial agents to repair microcracks is a
promising strategy for maximizing their lifespan. A non-ureolytic and alkali-tolerant B6 strain …

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has gained significant traction
as an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and intelligent self-healing method for concrete cracks. The …
