The overall goal of this protocol is to induce calcite precipitation in a stagnant culture of Sporosarcina pasteurii. This method can help us answer key biophysical questions about Sporosarcina pasteurii-mediated calcite precipitation, like the pe

Protocols for microbiologically induced calcite precipitation (MICP) using the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii are presented here. The precipitated calcium carbonate was characterized through optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is also shown that exposure to MICP increases the compressive strength of sponge.
