Although microbially induced calcium carbonate precipita-tion (MICP) through ureolysis has been widely studied in en-vironmental engineering fields, urea utilization might cause environmental problems as a result of ammonia and nitrate production. In this study, many non-ureolytic calcium car-bonate-precipitating bacteria that induced an alkaline envi-ronment were isolated from the rhizosphere of Miscanthus sacchariflorus near an artificial stream and their ability to pre-cipitate calcium carbonate minerals with the absence of urea was investigated. MICP was observed using a phase-contrast microscope and ion-selective electrode. Only Lysinibacillus sp. YS11 showed MICP in aerobic conditions. Energy disper-sive X-ray spectrometry and X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate. Field emission scanning elec-tron microscopy analysis indicated the formation of morpho-logically distinct minerals around cells under these condi-tions. Monitoring of bacterial growth, pH changes, and Ca2+ concentrations under aerobic, hypoxia, and anaerobic con-ditions suggested that strain YS11 could induce alkaline con-ditions up to a pH of 8.9 and utilize 95% of free Ca2+ only under aerobic conditions. Unusual Ca2+ binding and its re-lease from cells were observed under hypoxia conditions. Bio-film and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation were enhanced during MICP. Strain YS11 has resistance at high pH and in high salt concentrations, as well as its spore- forming ability, which supports its potential application for self-healing concrete.

The metabolism of Bacillus thuringiensis during its sporulation process was investigated under different concentrations of oxygen. At the beginning of sporulation, the aeration conditions were regulated to obtain different oxygen transfer rates (OTR) in four separate fermentations, representing interrupted, limited, non-limited, and saturated oxygenation, respectively. A higher OTR resulted in a higher pH, up to about 9 in the case of saturated oxygenation, while the interrupted oxygenation resulted in a significantly acidic culture. In contrast, the absence of oxygen resulted in rapid sporangia lysis and caused acidification of the medium, indicating a distinctly different sporangia composition and different metabolism. The bacterium also showed different CO2 production rates during sporulation, although amaximum point was observed in every case.With a higher OTR, the maximal value was observed after a longer time and at a lower value (40, 26, and 13 mmol/L/h for limited, non-limited, and saturated cases, respectively). Despite the exhaustion of glucose prior to the sporulation phase, the interrupted oxygenation resulted in acetate, lactate, and citrate in the medium with a maximum concentration of 4.8, 1.3, and 5.0 g/L, respectively. Notwithstanding, while the metabolic events differed visibly in the absence of oxygen, once sporulation was triggered, it was completed, even in the case of an interrupted oxygen supply.
