Clay Content Mediates the Contribution of Suspended Sporosarcina Pasteurii to Microbial Mineralization in Sandstones

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Bioaugmented microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a potentially useful tool for permeability modification of the subsurface. There is, however, uncertainty surrounding how the transport and mineralization capability of augmenting organisms such as Sporosarcina pasteurii may vary with reservoir properties.
