The process of microbially induced calcite precipitation was investigated via the control of mineralization production,pH value,O2and substrate,respectively.The experimental results show that the mineral precipitation induced by bacteria is calcite crystal,and the mineralization process needs O2.The pH value of bacteria liquid increased from 7.0 to 8.3 gradually when the bacteria grew,which plays an important role in the bacteria mineralization process.Calcite was formed due to the bacterial metabolic conversions rather than the direct decomposition of substrate under the action of extracellular enzymes.The metabolic process produced CO2,the substrate provided Ca2+ and CO32–,and other organic nutrients could also provide CO32–.The possible mechanism of bacterial induced mineral precipitation was analyzed.The results show that the growth of bacteria creates an alkaline environment and produces CO2 through various physiological activities.The cell wall of bacteria was negatively charged,affecting calcium carbonate precipitation by acting as sites of nucleation or calcium enrichment.The produced CO2 molecules reacted with Ca2+to form calcite crystal in alkaline environment.
