AB  - With the development of economy, heavy metal (HM) contamination has become an 
      issue of global concern, seriously threating animal and human health. Looking for 
      appropriate methods that decrease their bioavailability in the environment is 
      crucial. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been proposed as 
      a promising bioremediation method to immobilize contaminating metals in a 
      sustainable, eco-friendly, and energy saving manner. However, its performance is 
      always affected by many factors in practical application, both intrinsic and 
      external. This paper mainly introduced ureolytic bacteria-induced carbonate 
      precipitation and its implements in HM bioremediation. The mechanism of HM 
      immobilization and in-situ application strategies (that is, biostimulation and 
      bioaugmentation) of MICP are briefly discussed. The bacterial strains, culture 
      media, as well as HMs characteristics, pH and temperature, etc. are all critical 
      factors that control the success of MICP in HM bioremediation. The survivability 
      and tolerance of ureolytic bacteria under harsh conditions, especially in HM 
      contaminated areas, have been a bottleneck for an effective application of MICP 
      in bioremediation. The effective strategies for enhancing tolerance of bacteria 
      to HMs and improving the MICP performance were categorized to provide an in-depth 
      overview of various biotechnological approaches. Finally, the technical barriers 
      and future outlook are discussed. This review may provide insights into 
      controlling MICP treatment technique for further field applications, in order to 
      enable better control and performance in the complex and ever-changing 
      environmental systems.
