Abstract

Urease is involved in the formation of carbonate sediments by microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), and Sporosarcina pasteurii used extensively in this technique owing to its high urease production. In this study, a simple two-step culture method with the appropriate medium was d...
