“…Calcium chloride induces the formation of rhombohedral crystals (DeYoreo & Vekilov, 2003;Favre, Christ & Pierre, 2009;Gorospe et al, 2013), calcium acetate induces lamellar crystals composed of vaterite (Gorospe, et al, 2013), and lactate and calcium gluconate induces more complex forms with spherical-shaped vaterite (Tai & Chen, 1998). In 2012, Abo-El-Enein, Ali, Talkhan & Abdel-Gawwad, evaluated the calcium source for the biocementation process, concluding that calcite size, morphology and degree of crystallization produced by biocementation depends on the source of calcium used; the authors obtained better results in terms of a compressive strength increase and water absorption decrease with calcium chloride, followed by calcium acetate and finally calcium nitrate.…”

Bacteria with ureasic activity are microorganisms found in soil that in presence of urea and calcium, they can produce calcium carbonate, a process known as microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). This article discusses this process and its mechanism, as well as bacterial urease, calcium carbonate crystals formed, and factors that affect the efficiency of MICP, as type of bacteria, bacterial cell concentrations, pH, temperature and calcium and urea concentrations. In addition, applications as removal of heavy metals in water, bioconsolidation, biocement and CO 2 sequestration are also discussed.Keywords: Biomineralization; Bacillus; urease; carbonates; heavy metals; bioconsolidation; biocementation.

“…# 2015 International Union of Crystallography sequestration has shown promise owing to its efficiency in catalyzing CO 2 removal and its ability to be produced in large quantities (Favre et al, 2009;Boron, 2010;Pierre, 2012;Boone, Habibzadegan, Gill et al, 2013). However, CA must maintain its characteristic high catalytic efficiency in extreme conditions, such as high temperature, pressure and extreme pHs, in order to be a viable CO 2 -sequestration agent (Savile & Lalonde, 2011;Boone, Habibzadegan, Gill et al, 2013).…”

Biocatalytic CO 2 sequestration to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from industrial processes is an active area of research. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are attractive enzymes for this process. However, the most active CAs display limited thermal and pH stability, making them less than ideal. As a result, there is an ongoing effort to engineer and/or find a thermostable CA to fulfill these needs. Here, the kinetic and thermal characterization is presented of an -CA recently discovered in the mesophilic hydrothermal vent-isolate extremophile Thiomicrospira crunogena XCL-2 (TcruCA), which has a significantly higher thermostability compared with human CA II (melting temperature of 71.9 C versus 59.5 C, respectively) but with a tenfold decrease in the catalytic efficiency. The X-ray crystallographic structure of the dimeric TcruCA shows that it has a highly conserved yet compact structure compared with other -CAs. In addition, TcruCA contains an intramolecular disulfide bond that stabilizes the enzyme. These features are thought to contribute significantly to the thermostability and pH stability of the enzyme and may be exploited to engineer -CAs for applications in industrial CO 2 sequestration.

“…Although CA accelerates the rate of the CO 2 hydration reaction, it does not affect the equilibrium between the different species of carbonate (43). In a closed system, the final amount of precipitated CaCO 3 does not depend on whether the reaction is catalyzed by CA or not (10,12). Therefore, we focused on the ability of the whole-cell biocatalyst to improve the precipitation (mineralization) rate rather than measure the quantity of the resulting precipitate.…”

Engineered Escherichia coli with Periplasmic Carbonic Anhydrase as a Biocatalyst for CO₂Sequestration

Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that reversibly catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). It has been suggested recently that this remarkably fast enzyme can be used for sequestration of CO 2 , a major greenhouse gas, making this a promising alternative for chemical CO 2 mitigation. To promote the economical use of enzymes, we engineered the carbonic anhydrase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae (ngCA) in the periplasm of Escherichia coli, thereby creating a bacterial whole-cell catalyst. We then investigated the application of this system to CO 2 sequestration by mineral carbonation, a process with the potential to store large quantities of CO 2 . ngCA was highly expressed in the periplasm of E. coli in a soluble form, and the recombinant bacterial cell displayed the distinct ability to hydrate CO 2 compared with its cytoplasmic ngCA counterpart and previously reported wholecell CA systems. The expression of ngCA in the periplasm of E. coli greatly accelerated the rate of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) formation and exerted a striking impact on the maximal amount of CaCO 3 produced under conditions of relatively low pH. It was also shown that the thermal stability of the periplasmic enzyme was significantly improved. These results demonstrate that the engineered bacterial cell with periplasmic ngCA can successfully serve as an efficient biocatalyst for CO 2 sequestration.
