Carbon mineralization sequesters CO2 by reaction of alkaline earth metal bearing silicate
and hydroxide minerals with CO2 to form stable carbonate minerals. Seifritz (1990) …

This review covers the early diagenesis of the various types of deep-sea sediments. It uses
pore-water profiles as a sensitive tool to gain insight in diagenetic processes, to depict the …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

Sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) have been recognized as key players in the precipitation of
calcium carbonate in lithifying microbial communities. These bacteria increase the alkalinity …

Microbialites (benthic microbial carbonate deposits) were discovered in a hypersaline
alkaline lake on Eleuthera Island (Bahamas). From the edge towards the centre of the lake …

Biological processes may provide great and previously unexplored opportunities for cost-
effective, in situ improvement of the engineering properties of soil. A laboratory study was …

The potential of microorganisms for enhancing carbon capture and storage (CCS) via
mineral-trapping (where dissolved CO2 is precipitated in carbonate minerals) and solubility …

In this study, we demonstrate that sulphate‐reducing bacteria induce anoxic low‐
temperature Ca‐dolomite formation both in situ in Lagoa Vermelha and Brejo do Espinho …

Synchronized transitions in the polymorph mineralogy of the major reef-building and
sediment-producing calcareous marine organisms and abiotic CaCO 3 precipitates (ooids …

Microbial experiments are the only proven approach to produce experimental dolomite
under Earth's surface conditions. Although microbial metabolisms are known to induce …
