AB  - Current production of traditional concrete requires enormous energy investment 
      that accounts for approximately 5 to 8% of the world's annual CO(2) production. 
      Biocement is a building material that is already in industrial use and has the 
      potential to rival traditional concrete as a more convenient and more 
      environmentally friendly alternative. Biocement relies on biological structures 
      (enzymes, cells, and/or cellular superstructures) to mineralize and bind 
      particles in aggregate materials (e.g., sand and soil particles). Sporosarcina 
      pasteurii is a workhorse organism for biocementation, but most research to date 
      has focused on S. pasteurii as a building material rather than a biological 
      system. In this review, we synthesize available materials science, microbiology, 
      biochemistry, and cell biology evidence regarding biological CaCO(3) 
      precipitation and the role of microbes in microbially induced calcium carbonate 
      precipitation (MICP) with a focus on S. pasteurii. Based on the available 
      information, we provide a model that describes the molecular and cellular 
      processes involved in converting feedstock material (urea and Ca(2+)) into 
      cement. The model provides a foundational framework that we use to highlight 
      particular targets for researchers as they proceed into optimizing the biology of 
      MICP for biocement production.
