摘要

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a widespread phenomenon in which bacteria form mineralized calcium carbonate. It has emerged as a promising tool for sustainable applications, including engineered living materials. Despite increasing technical use, the metabolic and genetic basis of MICP remains poorly understood. Here we highlight recent insights into a non-ureolytic, acetate-driven pathway that supports MICP in certain bacteria.
