Comparative Study on the Sand Bioconsolidation through Calcium Carbonate Precipitation by Sporosarcina pasteurii and Bacillus subtilis

To investigate potential implications of microbial activity on sand bioconsolidation and subsurface environments, two ureolytic strains, Sporosarcina pasteurii and Bacillus subtilis were tested for the production of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Laboratory experiments with monoculture S. pasteurii (col...
