TI  - Bioremediation of Pb-contaminated soil based on microbially induced calcite 
      precipitation.
PG  - 244-7
AB  - To remediate lead (Pb)-contaminated soils, it is proposed that microbially 
      induced calcite precipitation (MICP) would provide the best alternative to other 
      remediation technologies. In this study, Pb bioremediation in soils was 
      investigated using the calcite-precipitating bacterium Kocuria flava. Results 
      indicate that the Pb is primarily associated with the carbonate fraction in 
      bioremediated soil samples. The bioavailability of Pb in contaminated soil was 
      reduced so that the potential stress of Pb was alleviated. This research provides 
      insight into the geochemistry occurring in the MICP-based Pb-remediated soils, 
      which will help in remediation decisions.
