Bacteria That Trap Carbon: Bacillus megaterium Offers Cleaner Pathway for CO₂ Mineralization
A new study shows that Bacillus megaterium can efficiently sequester atmospheric CO₂ into calcium carbonate via the carbonic anhydrase pathway—avoiding the ammonia byproducts of traditional ureolytic biocementation. A potential game-changer in sustainable construction and carbon capture.
