Quantifying the Effect of Encapsulation on Microbial Mineralization Processes Using a Modified DNA Extraction Method

Microbially-mediated mineral precipitation is important in the natural world and to a number of emerging climate, energy, and water technologies. Central to many microbial mineralization processes is the preferential accumulation of precipitates on microbial surfaces. In some systems, including ureolytic microbially-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), precipitates may entomb cells in a…
