AB  - The industrialization and growth of human population has increased the release 
      and accumulation of metals and metalloids in the environment. Bioaccumulation and 
      exposure to these elements have been associated with different types of diseases 
      and cancer, thus looking for alternatives that decrease their bioavailability in 
      the environment is crucial. Microbiologically induced carbonates precipitation 
      (MICP) has been proposed as a potential bioremediation method to immobilize 
      contaminating metals and metalloids. Studies published to date have mainly used 
      ureolytic bacteria, reporting metal(loid)s removal percentages up to 100% for 
      some toxic elements, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of this treatment. 
      Various genera of bacteria, particularly Gram-positive, have been reported with 
      MICP abilities. More recently, fungi have also been proposed as a viable 
      alternative for the removal of these toxic elements by carbonate precipitation. 
      This mini-review presents updated information about the main studies carried out 
      to date using different types of microorganisms that perform MICP to decrease the 
      environmental bioavailability of toxic metals and metalloids through the 
      formation of metallic carbonates.
