Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
Al Disi, Zulfa Ali; Bontognali, Tomaso R R; Jaoua, Samir; Attia, Essam; Al-Kuwari, Hamad Al Saad; Zouari, Nabil... more authors ... less authors ( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ... -
