The Significant Roles of Mg/Ca Ratio, Cl<sup>−</sup> and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> in Carbonate Mineral Precipitation by the Halophile <i>Staphylococcus epidermis</i> Y2

Carbonate precipitation induced by microorganisms has become a hot topic in the field of carbonate sedimentology, although the effects of magnesium on biomineral formation have rarely been studied. In experiments described here, magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride were used to investigate the s...
