  • Title: Bacterial Ca2+ metabolism as the key to microbial carbonate precipitation.
    Author: Hammes F, Verstraete W.
    Journal: Meded Rijksuniv Gent Fak Landbouwkd Toegep Biol Wet; 2001; 66(3a):169-72. PubMed ID: 15954580.
    Abstract:
    Ca2+ -ATPase enzymes facilitate active trans-membrane transport of Ca2+ in micro-organisms. This study investigates the hypothesis that active calcium metabolism under conditions of alkaline stress is a key element of microbial carbonate precipitation, and that the latter plays an integral part in survival of bacteria under alkaline conditions.
