Carbonate mineral precipitation induced by microorganisms enriched from the cave water and biofilm in a lime-decorated lava tube

Abstract Cave microorganisms associated with calcareous speleothems have been reported to facilitate calcium carbonate precipitation through crystal nucleation and mineral growth. In this study, we used carbonate-forming microorganisms enriched from cave water droplets and stalactite biofilm samples...
