TI  - Insights into the Current Trends in the Utilization of Bacteria for Microbially 
      Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation.

AB  - Nowadays, microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has received 
      great attention for its potential in construction and geotechnical applications. 
      This technique has been used in biocementation of sand, consolidation of soil, 
      production of self-healing concrete or mortar, and removal of heavy metal ions 
      from water. The products of MICP often have enhanced strength, durability, and 
      self-healing ability. Utilization of the MICP technique can also increase 
      sustainability, especially in the construction industry where a huge portion of 
      the materials used is not sustainable. The presence of bacteria is essential for 
      MICP to occur. Bacteria promote the conversion of suitable compounds into 
      carbonate ions, change the microenvironment to favor precipitation of calcium 
      carbonate, and act as precipitation sites for calcium carbonate crystals. Many 
      bacteria have been discovered and tested for MICP potential. This paper reviews 
      the bacteria used for MICP in some of the most recent studies. Bacteria that can 
      cause MICP include ureolytic bacteria, non-ureolytic bacteria, cyanobacteria, 
      nitrate reducing bacteria, and sulfate reducing bacteria. The most studied 
      bacterium for MICP over the years is Sporosarcina pasteurii. Other bacteria from 
      Bacillus species are also frequently investigated. Several factors that affect 
      MICP performance are bacterial strain, bacterial concentration, nutrient 
      concentration, calcium source concentration, addition of other substances, and 
      methods to distribute bacteria. Several suggestions for future studies such as 
      CO(2) sequestration through MICP, cost reduction by using plant or animal wastes 
      as media, and genetic modification of bacteria to enhance MICP have been put 
      forward.
