Abstract
A method for sequestering COand creating precipitated calcium carbonates includes: (a) providing a liquid calcification medium including: a nutrient broth including water and a yeast extract, a carbon source selected from calcium carboxylic acids and calcium dicarboxylic acids and mixtures thereof, and bacteria that naturally express the chaA gene; (b) introducing COto the liquid calcification medium; and (c) allowing microbial induced carbonate precipitation of calcium carbonate, thereby sequestering at least some of the COintroduced in the step of introducing.
