Improving the strength of sandy soils via ureolytic CaCO<sub>3</sub> solidification by <i>Sporosarcina ureae</i>

<p><q>Microbially induced carbonate precipitation</q> (MICP) is a biogeochemical process that can be applied to strengthen materials. The hydrolysis of urea by microbial catalysis to form carbonate is a commonly studied example of MICP. In this study, <i>Sporosarcina ureae...
