Facultative and anaerobic consortia of haloalkaliphilic ureolytic micro‐organisms capable of precipitating calcium carbonate

Strain-specific ureolytic microbial calcium carbonate precipitation.

During a study of ureolytic microbial calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) precipitation by bacterial isolates collected from different environmental samples, morphological differences were observed in the large CaCO(3) crystal aggregates precipitated within bacterial colonies grown on agar. Based on these differences, 12 isolates were selected for further study. We hypothesized that the striking differ...

Anaerobic Bioconversion of Heavy Hydrocarbons Using Native Consortia

A New Method for the Screening of Ureolytic Bacteria Inducing Calcium Carbonate Precipitation

At present several studies are evaluating biological calcite precipitation as it has laid the concept of bioconcrete as a self-healing material which may be a green and more sustainable component for future architecture. This paper reports a 96 wells plate based rapid and easy method for the screening of urea hydrolyzing/calcite-precipitating bacteria. Arsenazo III was used as a colorimetric in...

Comparative study of biological hydrogen production by pure strains and consortia of facultative and strict anaerobic bacteria.

In this paper, a simple and rapid method was developed in order to assess in comparative tests the production of binary biogas mixtures containing CO(2) and another gaseous compound such as hydrogen or methane. This method was validated and experimented for the characterisation of the biochemical hydrogen potential of different pure strains and mixed cultures of hydrogen-producing bacteria (HPB...
