A growing world population is presenting the agricultural industry with increasing challenges. While a growing population needs to be fed, climate change means that agriculture must become more sustainable and tolerant against extreme events such as drought. Cyanobacteria are promising biofertilizers due to their nitrogen-fixing ability and biofilm formation. Therefore, the growth-promoting effect of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacte...

Microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a technique that has received a lot of attention in the field of geotechnology in the last decade. It has the potential to provide a sustainable and ecological alternative to conventional consolidation of minerals, for example by the use of cement. From a variety of microbiological metabolic pathways that can induce calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) precipitation, u...
