Surface-displayed silicatein-α enzyme in bioengineered E. coli enables biocementation and silica mineralization

Biocementation is an exciting biomanufacturing alternative to common cement, which is a significant contributor of CO2 greenhouse gas production. In nature biocementation processes are usually modulated via ureolytic microbes, such as Sporosarcina pasteurii, precipitating calcium carbonate to cement...
