AB  - Cadmium (Cd) presence and bioavailability in soils is a serious concern for cocoa 
      producers. Cocoa plants can bioaccumulate Cd that can reach humans through the 
      food chain, thus posing a threat to human health, as Cd is a highly toxic metal. 
      Currently, microbiologically induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) by the 
      ureolytic path has been proposed as an effective technique for Cd remediation. In 
      this work, the Cd remediation potential and Cd resistance of two ureolytic 
      bacteria, Serratia sp. strains 4.1a and 5b, were evaluated. The growth of both 
      Serratia strains was inhibited at 4 mM Cd(II) in the culture medium, which is far 
      higher than the Cd content that can be found in the soils targeted for 
      remediation. Regarding removal efficiency, for an initial concentration of 0.15 
      mM Cd(II) in liquid medium, the maximum removal percentages for Serratia sp. 
      4.1.a and 5b were 99.3% and 99.57%, respectively. Their precipitates produced 
      during Cd removal were identified as calcite by X-ray diffraction. Energy 
      dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis showed that a portion of Cd was 
      immobilized in this matrix. Finally, the presence of a partial gene from the czc 
      operon, involved in Cd resistance, was observed in Serratia sp. 5b. The 
      expression of this gene was found to be unaffected by the presence of Cd(II), and 
      upregulated in the presence of urea. This work is one of the few to report the 
      use of bacterial strains of the Serratia genus for Cd remediation by MICP, and 
      apparently the first one to report differential expression of a Cd resistance 
      gene due to the presence of urea.
