Inhibition of Bacillus pasteurii urease enzyme by 3,7,15-tri-O-acetyl-5-O-nicotinoyl-13,14-dihydroxymyrsinol (1), a diterpene ester with a myrsinol-type skeleton, isolated from Euphorbia decipiens Boiss. and Buhse, was un-competitive consistent with the molecular docking results. The Ki value was 117.40 +/- 0.7 microM.

Recently, the ability of microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) to remediate heavy metals has been widely explored. was selected to remediate heavy metal-contaminated solution and aged refuse, exploring the feasibility of bioremediation of heavy metals and analyzing the changes in heavy metal forms before and after bioremediation, as well as the mechanism of remediation. The results showed that achieved remediation rates of 95%, 84%, 97%, and 98% for Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cr (III) in contaminated solution, respectively.

Biocement is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cement that is produced via microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) and has great potential to mitigate the environmental harms of cement and concrete use. Current production requires on-site bacterial cultivation and the application of live culture to target materials, lacking the convenience of stable formulas that enable broad adoption and application by nonscientific professionals. Here, we report the development of a dry shelf-stable formulation of , the model organism for biocement production.

Concrete, as the most widely used construction material globally, is prone to cracking under the influence of external factors such as mechanical loads, temperature fluctuations, chemical corrosion, and freeze-thaw cycles. Traditional concrete crack repair methods, such as epoxy resins and polymer mortars, often suffer from a limited permeability, poor compatibility with substrates, and insufficient long-term durability. Microbial biogrouting technology, leveraging microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), has emerged as a promising alternative for crack sealing.

Enhancement of dynamic characteristics of sand through bio-cementation is one of the prospective ground improvement techniques for sustainable development considering seismic loading scenarios. Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) has already been established as an efficient and low-cost and sustainable bio-cementation technique. In the present study, engineering characteristics of poorly graded standard Ennore sand of India have been improved through the bio-cementation effects of Sporosarcina pasteurii bacteria using the MICP technique.

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) while neutralizing soil pH, can lead to pore clogging which in turn may reduce bacteria transport. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the MICP process for E. coli filtration in two acidic soils.
