AB  - Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a common occurrence of 
      geochemistry influences in many fields, such as biological, geographical, and 
      engineering systems. However, the processes that control interactions between 
      carbonate biomineralization and biofilm properties are poorly understood. We 
      develop a method for real time, in situ and nondestructive imaging with confocal 
      scanning microscopy. This method provides a possible way to observe 
      biomineralization process and the morphology of biomineralized deposits within 
      biofilms. We use this method to show calcite biominerals produced by Pseudomonas 
      aeruginosa biofilms which extremely change biofilm structures. The distribution 
      of calcite precipitation produced in situ biomineralization is highly 
      heterogeneous in biofilms and also to occur primarily on the bottom of biofilms. 
      It is distinct from those usual expectations that mineral started to precipitate 
      from surface of biofilm. Our results reveal that biomineralization plays a 
      comprehensive regulation function on biofilm architecture and properties.
